RV 1.158.4

उपस्तुतिर् औचथ्यम् उरुष्येन् मा माम् इमे पतत्रिणी वि दुग्धाम् । मा माम् एधो दशतयश् चितो धाक् प्र यद् वाम् बद्धस् त्मनि खादति क्षाम् ॥

upastutir aucathyam uruṣyen mā mām ime patatriṇī vi dugdhām | mā mām edho daśatayaś cito dhāk pra yad vām baddhas tmani khādati kṣām ||

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

May this my praise preserve Ucathya's offspring: let not these Twain who fly with wings exhaust me. Let not the wood ten times up-piled consume me, when fixed for you it bites the ground it stands on.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
