अव स्म यस्य वेषणे स्वेदं पथिषु जुह्वति । अभीमह स्वजेन्यं भूमा पृष्ठेव रुरुहुः ॥

अव॑ स्म॒ यस्य॒ वेष॑णे॒ स्वेदं॑ प॒थिषु॒ जुह्व॑ति । अ॒भीमह॒ स्वजे॑न्यं॒ भूमा॑ पृ॒ष्ठेव॑ रुरुहुः ॥

áva smá yásya véṣaṇe svédam pathíṣu júhvati | abhī́maha svájeniyaṃ bhū́mā pṛṣṭhéva rurúhuḥ ||

Downward (into the embodied ways), for him whose driving onward casts its heat upon the paths, we press toward the self-conquering power; and the wide earth-nature rises up like a back beneath the burden, made fit for the journey.
