Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.158.5

RV 1.158.5

न मा गरन् नद्यो मातृतमा दासा यद् ईं सुसमुब्धम् अवाधुः । शिरो यद् अस्य त्रैतनो वितक्षत् स्वयं दास उरो अंसाव् अपि ग्ध ॥

na mā garan nadyo mātṛtamā dāsā yad īṃ susamubdham avādhuḥ | śiro yad asya traitano vitakṣat svayaṃ dāsa uro aṃsāv api gdha ||

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

The most maternal streams, wherein the Dasas cast me securely bound, have not devoured me. When Traitana would cleave my head asunder, the Dasa wounded his own breast and shoulders.
