Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 7 — Chapter 50
RV 7 50.1
आ माम् मित्रावरुणेह रक्षतꣳ कुलाययद् विश्वयन् मा न आ गन् । अजकावꣳ दुर्दृशीकꣳ तिरो दधे मा माम् पद्येन रपसा विदत् त्सरुः
ā mām mitrāvaruṇeha rakṣataṁ kulāyayad viśvayan mā na ā gan | ajakāvaṁ durdṛśīkaṁ tiro dadhe mā mām padyena rapasā vidat tsaruḥ
Guard me here, Mitra and Varuṇa; let not that which nests and swells come upon us; I put away the loathsome ajakāva, ill to look on — let the creeping thing not find me with foot-affliction.

O MITRA-Varuṇa, guard and protect me here: let not that come to me which nests within and swells. I drive afar the scorpion hateful to the sight: let not the winding worm touch me and wound my foot.

RV 7 50.2
यद् विजामन् परुषि वन्दनम् भुवद् अष्ठीवन्तौ परि कुल्फौ च देहत् । अग्निष् टच् छोचन्न् अप बाधताम् इतो मा माम् पद्येन रपसा विदत् त्सरुः

Whatever growth arises at a twin joint, and grips the knees and the ankles about — let Agni, blazing, drive that away from here: let the creeping thing not find me with foot-affliction.

RV 7 50.4
याः प्रवतो निवत उद्वत उदन्वतीर् अनुदकाश् च याः । ता अस्मभ्यम् पयसा पिन्वमानाः शिवा देवीर् अशिपदा भवन्तु सर्वा नद्यो अशिमिदा भवन्तु
yāḥ pravato nivata udvata udanvatīr anudakāś ca yāḥ | tā asmabhyam payasā pinvamānāḥ śivā devīr aśipadā bhavantu sarvā nadyo aśimidā bhavantu
The slopes, the downward and the upward waters, those that hold water and those that are without water — may they, swelling with milk for us, be kind goddesses, free of aśipada; may all the rivers be free of aśimida.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
The steep declivities, the valleys, and the heights, the channels full of water, and the waterless- May those who swell with water, gracious Goddesses, never afflict us with the Ṣipada disease, may all the rivers keep us free from Ṣimidâ.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
