Rig Veda 5.48.5
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
स जिह्वया चतुरनीक रञ्जते चारु वसानो वरुणो यतन्न अरिम | न तस्य विद्म पुरुषत्वता वयं यतो भगः सविता दाति वार्यम
IAST Romanisation
sa jihvayā caturanīka ṛñjate cāru vasāno varuṇo yatann arim | na tasya vidma puruṣatvatā vayaṃ yato bhaghaḥ savitā dāti vāryam
English Translation (Griffith)
Four-faced and nobly clad, Varuṇa, urging on the pious to his task, stirs himself with the tongue. Naught by our human nature do we know of him, him from whom Bhaga Savitar bestows the boon.
