Rig Veda 1.158.5

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

न मा गरन नद्यो मात्र्तमा दासा यदीं सुसमुब्धमवाधुः | शिरो यदस्य तरैतनो वितक्षत सवयं दास उरो अंसावपि गध

IAST Romanisation

na mā gharan nadyo mātṛtamā dāsā yadīṃ susamubdhamavādhuḥ | śiro yadasya traitano vitakṣat svayaṃ dāsa uro aṃsāvapi ghdha

English Translation (Griffith)

The most maternal streams, wherein the Dāsas cast me securely bound, have not devoured me. When Traitana would cleave my head asunder, the Dāsa wounded his own breast and shoulders.
