Mantra 8
Sukta 17
वृषा न क्रुद्धः पतयद् रजःस्वा यो अर्यपत्नीरकृणोदिमा अपः । स सुन्वते मघवा जीरदानवेऽविन्दज्ज्योतिर्मनवे हविष्मते
vṛ́ṣā na krúddhaḥ patayad rájaḥ-svā yó aryá-patnīr ákṛṇod imā́ ā́paḥ | sá sunváte maghávā jīrá-dānave’víndaj jyótiḥ mánave havíṣmate
Like a wrathful bull he rushed through the airy realms—he who made these waters ‘Arya-wived’ and ordered. That Bounteous One, for the Soma-presser, the swift-giving offerer, won light for Manu, for him who bringeth oblation.
