इन्द्र क्रतुं न आ भर पिता पुत्रेभ्यो यथा । शिक्षा णो अस्मिन् पुरुहूत यामनि जीवा ज्योतिर् अशीमहि

AV 20 79.2

मा नो अज्ञाता वृजना दुराध्यो माशिवासो अव क्रमुः । त्वया वयं प्रवतः शश्वतीर् अपो ऽति शूर तरामसि

mā no ajñātā vṛjanā durādhyo māśivāso ava kramuḥ | tvayā vayaṃ pravataḥ śaśvatīr apo 'ti śūra tarāmasi

Let not unknown, ill-intentioned bands, let not the unkindly ones, tread us down. With you we cross over the unceasing waters of the downward slope, O hero.
