RV 10.18.4

इमं जीवेभ्यः परिधिं दधामि मैषां नु गाद् अपरो अर्थम् एतम् । शतं जीवन्तु शरदः पुरूचीर् अन्तर् मृत्युं दधताम् पर्वतेन ॥

imaṃ jīvebhyaḥ paridhiṃ dadhāmi maiṣāṃ nu gād aparo artham etam | śataṃ jīvantu śaradaḥ purūcīr antar mṛtyuṃ dadhatām parvatena ||

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

Here I erect this rampart for the living; let none of these, none other, reach this limit. May they survive a hundred lengthened autumns, and may they bury Death beneath this mountain.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
