प्राग्रुवो नभन्वो न वक्वा ध्वस्रा अपिन्वद्युवतीॠतज्ञाः । धन्वान्यज्राँ अपृणक्तृषाणाँ अधोगिन्द्रः स्तर्यो दंसुपत्नीः ॥

Recitation with translationRig Veda 4.19.7

prā́gruvo nabhánvo na vakvā́ dhvasrā́ apinvad yuvatī́r ṛtá-jñāḥ | dhánvāny ájrāṁ apṛṇak tṛṣāṇā́m ádhog índraḥ staryò dám-supatnīḥ ||

Para a frente avançaram os portadores de nuvens, sem gaguejar; os sombrios encheram as jovens potências que conhecem Ṛta. Os ermos sedentos e as extensões estéreis ele as fez plenas; Indra, o sábio artífice, ordenhou as correntes, esposas-potências da morada da perícia.
