AVŚ 18.3.52

उत् ते स्तभ्नामि पृथिवीं त्वत् परीमं लोगं निदधन् मो अहम् रिषम् । एतां स्थूणां पितरो धारयन्ति ते तत्र यमः सादना ते कृणोतु ॥५२॥

ut te stabhnāmi pṛthivīṃ tvat parīmaṃ logaṃ nidadhan mo aham riṣam | etāṃ sthūṇāṃ pitaro dhārayanti te tatra yamaḥ sādanā te kṛṇotu ||52||

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

I stay the earth from thee, while over thee I place this piece of earth. May I be free from injury. Here let the Fathers keep this pillar firm for thee, and there let Yama make thee an abiding-place.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.18.13; the wording of this text may differ in places.
