Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.18.2

RV 4.18.2

नाहम् अतो निर् अया दुर्गहैतत् तिरश्चता पार्श्वान् निर् गमाणि । बहूनि मे अकृता कर्त्वानि युध्यै त्वेन सं त्वेन पृच्छै ॥

nāham ato nir ayā durgahaitat tiraścatā pārśvān nir gamāṇi | bahūni me akṛtā kartvāni yudhyai tvena saṃ tvena pṛcchai ||

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

Not this way go I forth: hard is the passage. Forth from the side obliquely will I issue. Much that is yet undone must I accomplish; one must I combat and the other question.
