AVŚ 4.28.4

याव् आरेभाथे बहु साकम् अग्रे प्र चेद् अस्राष्ट्रम् अभिभां जनेषु । याव् अस्येशथे द्विपदो यौ चतुष्पदस् तौ नो मुञ्चतम् अंहसः ॥४॥

yāv ārebhāthe bahu sākam agre pra ced asrāṣṭram abhibhāṃ janeṣu | yāv asyeśathe dvipado yau catuṣpadas tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||4||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Ye who have taken hold (ā-rabh) of much together in the beginning, if ye have let loose (pra-sṛj) the portent (abhibhā́) among the people (jána): who lord it etc. etc.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
