वहिष्ठेभिर विहरन यासि तन्तुम अवव्ययन्न असितं देव वस्म | दविध्वतो रश्मयः सूर्यस्य चर्मेवावाधुस तमो अप्स्व अन्तः

IAST Romanisation

vahiṣṭhebhir viharan yāsi tantum avavyayann asitaṃ deva vasma | davidhvato raśmayaḥ sūryasya carmevāvādhus tamo apsv antaḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Spreading thy web with mightiest Steeds thou comest, rending apart, thou God, the black-hued mantle. The rays of Sūrya tremulously shining sink, like a hide, the darkness in the waters.
