Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.148.5

RV 1.148.5

न यं रिपवो न रिषण्यवो गर्भे सन्तं रेषणा रेषयन्ति । अन्धा अपश्या न दभन्न् अभिख्या नित्यास ईम् प्रेतारो अरक्षन् ॥

na yaṃ ripavo na riṣaṇyavo garbhe santaṃ reṣaṇā reṣayanti | andhā apaśyā na dabhann abhikhyā nityāsa īm pretāro arakṣan ||

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

Him, whom while yet in embryo the hostile, both skilled and fain to harm, may never injure, Men blind and sightless through his splendour hurt not: his never-failing lovers have preserved him.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
