उच्छ्वञ्चमाना पृथिवी सु तिष्ठतु सहस्रं मित उप हि श्रयन्ताम् । ते गृहासो घृतश्चुतः स्योना विश्वाहास्मै शरणाः सन्त्व् अत्र ॥५१॥

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

Now let the heaving earth be free from motion: yea,- let a thousand clods remain above him. Be they to him a home distilling fatness, here let them ever be his place of refuge.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.18.12; the wording of this text may differ in places.
