Sukta 84
निर्ऋतिमोचनम्। यस्यास्त आसनि घोरे जुहोम्येषां बद्धानामवसर्जनाय कम्। भूमिरिति त्वाभिप्रमन्वते जना निरृतिरिति त्वाहं परि वेद सर्वतः

A loosening from Nirṛti. On thy dreadful seat I offer, for the releasing of these that are bound. ‘Earth,’ so men conceive and name thee; ‘Nirṛti,’ so I, on every side, know thee.
