Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.105.8

RV 1.105.8

सम् मा तपन्त्य् अभितः सपत्नीर् इव पर्शवः । मूषो न शिश्ना व्य् अदन्ति माध्य स्तोतारं ते शतक्रतो वित्तम् मे अस्य रोदसी ॥

sam mā tapanty abhitaḥ sapatnīr iva parśavaḥ | mūṣo na śiśnā vy adanti mādhya stotāraṃ te śatakrato vittam me asya rodasī ||

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

Like rival wives on every side enclosing ribs oppress me sore. O Satakratu, biting cares devour me, singer of thy praise, as rats devour the weaver's threads. Mark this my woe, ye Earth and Heaven.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
