Sukta 7.49
समुद्रज्येष्ठाः सलिलस्य मध्यात्पुनाना यन्त्यनिविशमानाः । इन्द्रो या वज्री वृषभो रराद ता आपो देवीरिह मामवन्तु ॥
samudrá-jyeṣṭhāḥ salilásya mádhyāt punānā́ yánty aní-viśamānāḥ | índro yā́ vajrī́ vṛṣabhó rarā́da tā́ ā́po devī́r ihá mām avantu ||
Eldest in the ocean, from the midst of the waters, purifying, they move on without settling into any fixed place. Those Waters whom Indra, the wielder of the thunderbolt, the Bull, has made to resound—may those divine Waters protect me here.
