Rig Veda 3.4.6

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

आ भन्दमाने उषसा उपाके उत समयेते तन्वा विरूपे | यथा नो मित्रो वरुणो जुजोषदिन्द्रो मरुत्वानुत वा महोभिः

IAST Romanisation

ā bhandamāne uṣasā upāke uta smayete tanvā virūpe | yathā no mitro varuṇo jujoṣadindro marutvānuta vā mahobhiḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Night and Dawn, lauded, hither come together, both smiling, different are their forms in colour, That Varuṇa and Mitra may accept us, and Indra, girt by Maruts, with his glories. 7. I crave the grace of heaven's two chief Invokers: the seven swift steeds joy in their wonted manner. These speak of truth, praising the truth eternal, thinking on Order as the guards of Order.
