RV 2.16.8

पुरा सम्बाधाद् अभ्य् आ ववृत्स्व नो धेनुर् न वत्सं यवसस्य पिप्युषी । सकृत् सु ते सुमतिभिः शतक्रतो सम् पत्नीभिर् न वृषणो नसीमहि ॥

purā sambādhād abhy ā vavṛtsva no dhenur na vatsaṃ yavasasya pipyuṣī | sakṛt su te sumatibhiḥ śatakrato sam patnībhir na vṛṣaṇo nasīmahi ||

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

Turn thee unto us ere calamity come nigh, as a cow full of pasture turns her to her calf. Lord of a Hundred Powers, may we once firmly cling to thy fair favours even as husbands to their wives.
