RV 3.39.8

ज्योतिर् यज्ञाय रोदसी अनु ष्याद् आरे स्याम दुरितस्य भूरेः । भूरि चिद् धि तुजतो मर्त्यस्य सुपारासो वसवो बर्हणावत् ॥

jyotir yajñāya rodasī anu ṣyād āre syāma duritasya bhūreḥ | bhūri cid dhi tujato martyasya supārāso vasavo barhaṇāvat ||

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

Let there be light through both the worlds for worship: may we be far from most overwhelming evil. Great woe comes even from the hostile mortal, piled up; but good at rescue are the Vasus.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
