RV 10.109.4

देवा एतस्याम् अवदन्त पूर्वे सप्तऋषयस् तपसे ये निषेदुः । भीमा जाया ब्राह्मणस्योपनीता दुर्धां दधाति परमे व्योमन् ॥

devā etasyām avadanta pūrve saptaṛṣayas tapase ye niṣeduḥ | bhīmā jāyā brāhmaṇasyopanītā durdhāṃ dadhāti parame vyoman ||

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

Thus spake of her those Gods of old, Seven Rsis who sate them down to their austere devotion: Dire is a Brahman's wife led home by others: in the supremest heaven she plants confusion.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
