5.85.4

u̱natti̱ bhūmi̍m pṛthi̱vīm u̱ta dyāṁ ya̱dā du̱gdhaṁ varu̍ṇo̱ vaṣṭy ād it |
sam a̱bhreṇa̍ vasata̱ parva̍tāsas taviṣī̱yanta̍ḥ śrathayanta vī̱rāḥ ||

When Varuṇa is fain for milk he moistens the sky, the land, and earth to her foundation. Then straight the mountains clothe them in the rain-cloud: the Heroes, putting forth their vigour, loose them.

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