Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.185.2

RV 1.185.2

भूरिं द्वे अचरन्ती चरन्तम् पद्वन्तं गर्भम् अपदी दधाते । नित्यं न सूनुम् पित्रोर् उपस्थे द्यावा रक्षतम् पृथिवी नो अभ्वात् ॥

bhūriṃ dve acarantī carantam padvantaṃ garbham apadī dadhāte | nityaṃ na sūnum pitror upasthe dyāvā rakṣatam pṛthivī no abhvāt ||

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

The Twain uphold, though motionless and footless, a widespread offspring having feet and moving. Like your own son upon his parents' bosom, protect us, Heaven and earth, from fearful danger.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
