VS 5.16

इरावती धेनुमती हि भूतꣳ सूयवसिनी मनवे दशस्या । व्यस्कभ्ना रोदसी विष्णव् एते दाधर्त्थ पृथिवीम् अभितो मयूखैः स्वाहा ॥

irāvatī dhenumatī hi bhūtam̐ sūyavasinī manave daśasyā | vyaskabhnā rodasī viṣṇav ete dādharttha pṛthivīm abhito mayūkhaiḥ svāhā ||

Roman (IAST) transliteration rendered by HREEM from the edition's Devanagari; the Devanagari is the edition's own.

Rich in sweet food be ye, and rich in milch-kine, with fertile pastures, fain to do men service. Both these worlds, Visnu, hast thou stayed asunder, and firmly fixed the earth with pegs around it.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 7.99.3; the wording of this text may differ in places.
