a̱bhi śyā̱vaṁ na kṛśa̍nebhi̱r aśva̱ṁ nakṣa̍trebhiḥ pi̱taro̱ dyām a̍piṁśan |
rātryā̱ṁ tamo̱ ada̍dhu̱r jyoti̱r aha̱n bṛha̱spati̍r bhi̱nad adri̍ṁ vi̱dad gāḥ ||

Like a dark steed adorned with pearl, the Fathers have decorated heaven With constellations. They set the light in day, in night the darkness. Bṛihaspati cleft the rock and found the cattle.

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