RV 1.54.1

मा नो अस्मिन् मघवन् पृत्स्व् अंहसि नहि ते अन्तः शवसः परीणशे । अक्रन्दयो नद्यो रोरुवद् वना कथा न क्षोणीर् भियसा सम् आरत ॥

mā no asmin maghavan pṛtsv aṃhasi nahi te antaḥ śavasaḥ parīṇaśe | akrandayo nadyo roruvad vanā kathā na kṣoṇīr bhiyasā sam ārata ||

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

Urge us not, Maghavan, to this distressful fight, for none may comprehend the limit of thy strength. Thou with fierce shout hast made the woods and rivers roar: did not men run in crowds together in their fear?

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
