RV 1.140.8

तम् अग्रुवः केशिनीः सं हि रेभिर ऊर्ध्वास् तस्थुर् मम्रुषीः प्रायवे पुनः । तासां जराम् प्रमुञ्चन्न् एति नानदद् असुम् परं जनयञ् जीवम् अस्तृतम् ॥

tam agruvaḥ keśinīḥ saṃ hi rebhira ūrdhvās tasthur mamruṣīḥ prāyave punaḥ | tāsāṃ jarām pramuñcann eti nānadad asum paraṃ janayañ jīvam astṛtam ||

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

The maidens with long, tresses hold him in embrace; dead, they rise up again to meet the Living One. Releasing them from age with a loud roar he comes, filling them with new spirit, living, unsubdued.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
