RV 1.117.16

अजोहवीद् अश्विना वर्तिका वाम् आस्नो यत् सीम् अमुञ्चतं वृकस्य । वि जयुषा ययथुः सान्व् अद्रेर् जातं विष्वाचो अहतं विषेण ॥

ajohavīd aśvinā vartikā vām āsno yat sīm amuñcataṃ vṛkasya | vi jayuṣā yayathuḥ sānv adrer jātaṃ viṣvāco ahataṃ viṣeṇa ||

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

The quail had invocated you, O Asvins, when from the wolf's devouring jaws ye freed her. With conquering car ye cleft the mountain's ridges: the offspring of Visvac ye killed with poison.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
