इ॒यं शुष्मे॑भिर्बिस॒खा इ॑वारुज॒त्सानु॑ गिरी॒णां त॑वि॒षेभि॑रू॒र्मिभि॑: । पा॒रा॒व॒त॒घ्नीमव॑से सुवृ॒क्तिभि॒: सर॑स्वती॒मा वि॑वासेम धी॒तिभि॑: ॥
इयं शुष्मेभिर्बिसखा इवारुजत्सानु गिरीणां तविषेभिरूर्मिभिः । पारावतघ्नीमवसे सुवृक्तिभिः सरस्वतीमा विवासेम धीतिभिः ॥
iyaṃ śuṣmebhir bisakhā ivārujat sānu girīṇāṃ taviṣebhir ūrmibhiḥ | pārāvataghnīm avase suvṛktibhiḥ sarasvatīm ā vivāsema dhītibhiḥ ||

English translation:

“With impetuous and mighty waves she breaks down the precipices of the mountains, like a digger for the lotus fibres; we adore for our protection, the praises and with sacred rites, Sarasvatī the underminer of both her banks.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

With impetuous and mighty waters: the firs ṛca addresses Sarasvatī as a goddess; in this ṛca, she is praised as a river; in this entire sūkta, this alternative attribution is apparent; like a digger for the lotus-fibres: bisa-khā iva bisam khanati, who digs the bisa, the long fibres of the stem of the lotus, in delving for which he breaks down the banks of the pond
