RV 1.140.2

अभि द्विजन्मा त्रिवृद् अन्नम् ऋज्यते संवत्सरे वावृधे जग्धम् ई पुनः । अन्यस्यासा जिह्वया जेन्यो वृषा न्य् अन्येन वनिनो मृष्ट वारणः ॥

abhi dvijanmā trivṛd annam ṛjyate saṃvatsare vāvṛdhe jagdham ī punaḥ | anyasyāsā jihvayā jenyo vṛṣā ny anyena vanino mṛṣṭa vāraṇaḥ ||

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

Child of a double birth he grasps at triple food; in the year's course what he hath swallowed grows anew. He, by another's mouth and tongue a noble Bull, with other, as an elephant, consumes the trees.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
