नकिर् देवा मिनीमसि नकिर् आ योपयामसि मन्त्रश्रुत्यं चरामसि । पक्षेभिर् अपिकक्षेभिर् अत्राभि सं रभामहे ॥
nakir devā minīmasi nakir ā yopayāmasi mantraśrutyaṃ carāmasi | pakṣebhir apikakṣebhir atrābhi saṃ rabhāmahe ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Never, O Gods, do we offend, nor are we ever obstinate: we walk as holy texts command. Closely we clasp and cling to you, cling to your sides, beneath your arms.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
