In thy course hither, [thy] course away, let the flowery dū́rvā grow; either let a fountain spring up there, or a pond rich in lotuses.

Against fire in the house
English · William Dwight Whitney
This is the down-course of the waters, the abode (nivéçana) of the ocean; in the midst of a pool are our houses: turn thy faces away.
English · William Dwight Whitney
With a fetal envelop of snow, O house, do we envelop thee; for mayest thou be for us having a cool pond; let Agni make a remedy.
