Rig Veda 4.5.13

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

का मर्यादा वयुना कद ध वामम अछा गमेम रघवो न वाजम | कदा नो देवीर अम्र्तस्य पत्नीः सूरो वर्णेन ततनन्न उषासः

IAST Romanisation

kā maryādā vayunā kad dha vāmam achā ghamema raghavo na vājam | kadā no devīr amṛtasya patnīḥ sūro varṇena tatanann uṣāsaḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

What is the limit, what the rules, the guerdon? Like fleet-foot coursers speed we to the contest. When will the Goddesses, the Immortal's Spouses, the Dawns, spread over us the Sun-God's splendour?
