Rig Veda 1.71.10
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
मा नो अग्ने सख्या पित्र्याणि पर मर्षिष्ठा अभि विदुष कविः सन | नभो न रूपं जरिमा मिनाति पुरा तस्या अभिशस्तेरधीहि
IAST Romanisation
mā no aghne sakhyā pitryāṇi pra marṣiṣṭhā abhi viduṣ kaviḥ san | nabho na rūpaṃ jarimā mināti purā tasyā abhiśasteradhīhi
English Translation (Griffith)
O Agni, break not our ancestral friendship, Sage as thou art, endowed with deepest knowledge. Old age, like gathering cloud, impairs the body: before that evil be come nigh protect me.
