Rig Veda 3.39.8

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

जयोतिर्यज्ञाय रोदसी अनु षयादारे सयाम दुरितस्य भूरेः | भूरि चिद धि तुजतो मर्त्यस्य सुपारासो वसवो बर्हणावत

IAST Romanisation

jyotiryajñāya rodasī anu ṣyādāre syāma duritasya bhūreḥ | bhūri cid dhi tujato martyasya supārāso vasavo barhaṇāvat

English Translation (Griffith)

Let there be light through both the worlds for worship: may we be far from most overwhelming evil. Great woe comes even from the hostile mortal, piled up; but good at rescue are the Vasus.
