AV 7 102.1

नमस्कृत्य द्यावापृथिवीभ्याम् अन्तरिक्षाय मृत्यवे । मेक्षाम्य् ऊर्ध्वस् तिष्ठन् मा मा हिंसिषुर् ईश्वराः

namaskṛtya dyāvāpṛthivībhyām antarikṣāya mṛtyave | mekṣāmy ūrdhvas tiṣṭhan mā mā hiṃsiṣur īśvarāḥ

Having made homage to heaven-and-earth, to the midspace, to Death, I stir (the offering) standing upright: let not the powerful ones harm me.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

When I have worshipped Heaven and Earth, reverenced Firma- ment and Death, I will make water standing up. Let not the Sovrans injure me.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
