RV 7.18.8

दुराध्यो अदितिं स्रेवयन्तो ऽचेतसो वि जगृभ्रे परुष्णीम् । मह्नाविव्यक् पृथिवीम् पत्यमानः पशुष् कविर् अशयच् चायमानः ॥

durādhyo aditiṃ srevayanto 'cetaso vi jagṛbhre paruṣṇīm | mahnāvivyak pṛthivīm patyamānaḥ paśuṣ kavir aśayac cāyamānaḥ ||

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

Fools, in their folly fain to waste her waters, they parted inexhaustible Parusni. Lord of the Earth, he with his might repressed them: still lay the herd and the affrighted herdsman.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
