Sukta 1.148

Devata: Agni

न यं रिपवो न रिषण्यवो गर्भे सन्तं रेषणा रेषयन्ति । अन्धा अपश्या न दभन्नभिख्या नित्यास ईं प्रेतारो अरक्षन् ॥

ná yaṃ ripávo ná riṣaṇyávo gárbhe sántam reṣaṇā́ reṣáyanti | andhā́ apaśyā́ ná dabhan abhikhyā́ nítyāsa īṃ pretā́ro arakṣan ||

Ни враги, ни нападающие не могут ранить его, когда он пребывает в лоне; вредители не вредят ему. Слепые, не видящие, они не одолевают его своим выслеживанием; вечные стражи охранили его в его поступательном движении.
