उप॑स्तुतिरौच॒थ्यमु॑रुष्ये॒न्मा मामि॒मे प॑त॒त्रिणी॒ वि दु॑ग्धाम् । मा मामेधो॒ दश॑तयश्चि॒तो धा॒क्प्र यद्वां॑ ब॒द्धस्त्मनि॒ खाद॑ति॒ क्षाम्
upastutiraucathyamuruṣyenmā māmime patatriṇī vi dugdhām mā māmedho daśatayaścito dhākpra yadvāṃ baddhastmani khādati kṣām
They praised the homage, they shook off opulence; do not cast me away, O you who give milk here. Do not bind me with the tenfold wealth that eats the jewel in the mind.
May the praise addressed to you, Aśvins, preserve the son of Ucatthya; let not those revolving (days and nights) exhaust me; let not the ten times kindled fire consume me; let it not be, that one who is your, (dependant), bound (with bonds), should of himself bite the earth.
May this my praise preserve Ucathya's offispring: let not these Twain who fly with wings exhaust me. Let not the wood ten times up-piled consume me, when fixed for you it bites the ground it stands on.
