Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 2.39.4

RV 2.39.4

नावेव नः पारयतं युगेव नभ्येव न उपधीव प्रधीव । श्वानेव नो अरिषण्या तनूनां खृगलेव विस्रसः पातम् अस्मान् ॥

nāveva naḥ pārayataṃ yugeva nabhyeva na upadhīva pradhīva | śvāneva no ariṣaṇyā tanūnāṃ khṛgaleva visrasaḥ pātam asmān ||

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

Bear us across the rivers like two vessels, save us as ye were yokes, naves, spokes and fellies. Be like two dogs that injure not our bodies; preserve us, like two crutches, that we fall not.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
