Roman (IAST) transliteration rendered by HREEM from the edition's Devanagari; the Devanagari is the edition's own.
When light hath filled the Lord of men for increase, straight from the heaven descends the limpid moisture. Agni hath brought to light and filled with spirit the youthful host blameless and well providing.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 1.71.8; the wording of this text may differ in places.
