RV 1.116.15

चरित्रं हि वेर् इवाच्छेदि पर्णम् आजा खेलस्य परितक्म्यायाम् । सद्यो जङ्घाम् आयसीं विश्पलायै धने हिते सर्तवे प्रत्य् अधत्तम् ॥

caritraṃ hi ver ivācchedi parṇam ājā khelasya paritakmyāyām | sadyo jaṅghām āyasīṃ viśpalāyai dhane hite sartave praty adhattam ||

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

When in the time of night, in Khela's battle, a leg was severed like a wild bird's pinion, Straight ye gave Vispala a leg of iron that she might move what time the conflict opened.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
