Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Heave thyself, Earth, nor press thee downward heavily: afford him easy access, gently tending him. Cover him, as a mother wraps her skirt about her child, O Earth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.18.11; the wording of this text may differ in places.
