Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 2.23.8

RV 2.23.8

त्रातारं त्वा तनूनां हवामहे ऽवस्पर्तर् अधिवक्तारम् अस्मयुम् । बृहस्पते देवनिदो नि बर्हय मा दुरेवा उत्तरं सुम्नम् उन् नशन् ॥

trātāraṃ tvā tanūnāṃ havāmahe 'vaspartar adhivaktāram asmayum | bṛhaspate devanido ni barhaya mā durevā uttaraṃ sumnam un naśan ||

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

Thee as protector of our bodies we invoke, thee, saviour, as the comforter who loveth us. Strike, O Brhaspati, the Gods' revilers down, and let not the unrighteous come to highest bliss.
