आवतस् त आवतः परावतस् त आवतः । इहैव भव मा नु गा मा पूर्वान् अनु गाः पितॄन् असुं बध्नामि ते दृढम् ॥१॥
āvatas ta āvataḥ parāvatas ta āvataḥ | ihaiva bhava mā nu gā mā pūrvān anu gāḥ pitṝn asuṃ badhnāmi te dṛḍham ||1||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Thy nearnesses [are] nearnesses, thy distances nearnesses; be just here; go not now; go not after the former Fathers; thy life (ásu) I bind fast.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
