IAST Transliteration

yádi kartáṃ patitvā́ sáṃśaśre yádi vā́śmā prahr̥tó jaghā́na | r̥bhúḥ rathásyevā́ṅgāni sáṃ dadhát páruṣā páruḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

If, falling into a pit, thou hast been shattered; if a stone, hurled, hath smitten thee—then, as R̥bhu set together the members of a chariot, so let joint be fitted unto joint.

Translation

もし穴に落ちて砕け散ったなら、もし投げつけられた石に打たれたなら——そのとき、工巧神リブフ（R̥bhu）が戦車の肢体を組み合わせたように、節は節へ、関節は関節へと、ふたたび組み合わさるように。
