AVŚ 18.2.13

उरूणसाव् असुतृपाव् उदुम्बलौ यमस्य दूतौ चरतो जनां अनु । ताव् अस्मभ्यं दृशये सूर्याय पुनर् दाताम् असुम् अद्येह भद्रम् ॥१३॥

urūṇasāv asutṛpāv udumbalau yamasya dūtau carato janāṃ anu | tāv asmabhyaṃ dṛśaye sūryāya punar dātām asum adyeha bhadram ||13||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Dark-hued, insatiate, with distended nostrils, Yama's two envoys roam among the People; May they restore to us a fair existence here and to-day, that we may see the sunlight.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.14.12; the wording of this text may differ in places.
