Sukta 5.85
नीचीनबारं वरुणः कवन्धं प्र ससर्ज रोदसी अन्तरिक्षम् । तेन विश्वस्य भुवनस्य राजा यवं न वृष्टिर्व्युनत्ति भूम ॥
nīcī́nabāraṃ váruṇaḥ kávandhaṃ prá sasarja ródasī antárikṣam | téna víśvasya bhúvanasya rājā yávam ná vṛṣṭír vyùnatti bhū́ma ||
Varuṇa has released the downward-drawn covering (the veiling lid) between Heaven-and-Earth, into the mid-world. By that act the King of all becoming separates and spreads out the ground of our being, as rain loosens and opens the field like barley for growth—making the inner earth ready for the descent of truth and increase.
