RV 3.53.17

स्थिरौ गावौ भवतां वीळुर् अक्षो मेषा वि वर्हि मा युगं वि शारि । इन्द्रः पातल्ये ददतां शरीतोर् अरिष्टनेमे अभि नः सचस्व ॥

sthirau gāvau bhavatāṃ vīḷur akṣo meṣā vi varhi mā yugaṃ vi śāri | indraḥ pātalye dadatāṃ śarītor ariṣṭaneme abhi naḥ sacasva ||

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

Strong be the pair of oxen, firm the axles, let not the pole slip nor the yoke be broken. May Indra, keep the yoke-pins from decaying: attend us, thou whose fellies are uninjured.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
