Rig Veda 7.87.6
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
अव सिन्धुं वरुणो दयौरिव सथाद दरप्सो न शवेतो मर्गस्तुविष्मान | गम्भीरशंसो रजसो विमानः सुपारक्षत्रः सतो अस्य राजा
IAST Romanisation
ava sindhuṃ varuṇo dyauriva sthād drapso na śveto mṛghastuviṣmān | ghambhīraśaṃso rajaso vimānaḥ supārakṣatraḥ sato asya rājā
English Translation (Griffith)
Like Varuṇa from heaven he sinks in Sindhu, like a white-shining spark, a strong wild creature. Ruling in depths and meting out the region, great saving power hath he, this world's Controller.
