ta āva̍vṛtra̱n sada̍nād ṛ̱tasyād id ghṛ̱tena̍ pṛthi̱vī vy u̍dyate ||

Dark the descent: the birds are golden-coloured; up to the heaven they fly robed in the waters. Again descend they from the seat of Order, and all the earth is moistened with their fatness.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
