Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.140.4

RV 1.140.4

मुमुक्ष्वो मनवे मानवस्यते रघुद्रुवः कृष्णसीतास ऊ जुवः । असमना अजिरासो रघुष्यदो वातजूता उप युज्यन्त आशवः ॥

mumukṣvo manave mānavasyate raghudruvaḥ kṛṣṇasītāsa ū juvaḥ | asamanā ajirāso raghuṣyado vātajūtā upa yujyanta āśavaḥ ||

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

For man, thou Friend of men, these steeds of thine are yoked, impatient, lightly running, ploughing blackened lines, Discordant-minded, fleet, gliding with easy speed, urged onward by the wind and rapid in their course.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
