Rig Veda 2.23.17

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

विश्वेभ्यो हि तवा भुवनेभ्यस परि तवष्टाजनत साम्नः साम्नः कविः | स रणचिद रणया बरह्मणस पतिर्द्रुहो हन्ता मह रतस्य धर्तरि

IAST Romanisation

viśvebhyo hi tvā bhuvanebhyas pari tvaṣṭājanat sāmnaḥ sāmnaḥ kaviḥ | sa ṛṇacid ṛṇayā brahmaṇas patirdruho hantā maha ṛtasya dhartari

English Translation (Griffith)

For Tvaṣṭar, he who knows each sacred song, brought thee to life, preeminent o’er all the things that be. Guilt-scourger, guilt-avenger is Bṛhaspati, who slays the spoiler and upholds the mighty Law.
