2.17.5

sa prā̱cīnā̱n parva̍tān dṛṁha̱d oja̍sādharā̱cīna̍m akṛṇod a̱pām apa̍ḥ |
adhā̍rayat pṛthi̱vīṁ vi̱śvadhā̍yasa̱m asta̍bhnān mā̱yayā̱ dyām a̍va̱srasa̍ḥ ||

He with his might made firm the forward-bending hills, the downward rushing of the waters he ordained. Fast he upheld the earth that nourisheth all life, and stayed the heaven from falling by his wondrous skill.

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