ádhākṛṇoḥ pṛthivī́ṃ saṃ-dṛ́śe divé yó dhautī́nām ahi-hán ā́riṇak páthaḥ | táṃ tvā stómebhir udábhir ná vājínaṃ deváṃ devā́ ajanann sá āsy ukthyáḥ ||

Then you made the Earth a counterpart in vision to Heaven; you, slayer of the serpent for the shining ones, opened the paths. You—like a steed of plenitude—by hymns and uplifted waters the gods brought forth as a god; he indeed is the true subject of the hymn.
