Sanskrit (Devanagari)
उनत्ति भूमिम पर्थिवीम उत दयां यदा दुग्धं वरुणो वष्ट्य आद इत | सम अभ्रेण वसत पर्वतासस तविषीयन्तः शरथयन्त वीराः
IAST Romanisation
unatti bhūmim pṛthivīm uta dyāṃ yadā dughdhaṃ varuṇo vaṣṭy ād it | sam abhreṇa vasata parvatāsas taviṣīyantaḥ śrathayanta vīrāḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
When Varuṇa is fain for milk he moistens the sky, the land, and earth to her foundation. Then straight the mountains clothe them in the rain-cloud: the Heroes, putting forth their vigour, loose them.
