RV 1.89.9

शतम् इन् नु शरदो अन्ति देवा यत्रा नश् चक्रा जरसं तनूनाम् । पुत्रासो यत्र पितरो भवन्ति मा नो मध्या रीरिषतायुर् गन्तोः ॥

śatam in nu śarado anti devā yatrā naś cakrā jarasaṃ tanūnām | putrāso yatra pitaro bhavanti mā no madhyā rīriṣatāyur gantoḥ ||

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

A hundred autumns stand before us, O ye Gods, within whose space ye bring our bodies to decay; Within whose space our sons become fathers in turn. Break ye not in the midst our course of fleeting life.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
