RV 4.18.8

ममच् चन त्वा युवतिः परास ममच् चन त्वा कुषवा जगार । ममच् चिद् आपः शिशवे ममृड्युर् ममच् चिद् इन्द्रः सहसोद् अतिष्ठत् ॥

mamac cana tvā yuvatiḥ parāsa mamac cana tvā kuṣavā jagāra | mamac cid āpaḥ śiśave mamṛḍyur mamac cid indraḥ sahasod atiṣṭhat ||

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

I cast thee from me, mine,-thy youthful mother: thee, mine own offspring, Kusava hath swallowed. To him, mine infant, were the waters gracious. Indra, my Son, rose up in conquering vigour.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
