Rig Veda 10.12.6

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

दुर्मन्त्वत्राम्र्तस्य नाम सलक्ष्मा यद विषुरूपाभवाति | यमस्य यो मनवते सुमन्त्वग्ने तं रष्व पाह्यप्रयुछन

IAST Romanisation

durmantvatrāmṛtasya nāma salakṣmā yad viṣurūpābhavāti | yamasya yo manavate sumantvaghne taṃ ṛṣva pāhyaprayuchan

English Translation (Griffith)

’Tis hard to understand the Immortal's nature, where she who is akin becomes astranger. Guard ceaselessly, great Agni, him who ponders Yama's name, easy to be comprehended.
