Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.140.9

RV 1.140.9

अधीवासम् परि मातू रिहन्न् अह तुविग्रेभिः सत्वभिर् याति वि ज्रयः । वयो दधत् पद्वते रेरिहत् सदानु श्येनी सचते वर्तनीर् अह ॥

adhīvāsam pari mātū rihann aha tuvigrebhiḥ satvabhir yāti vi jrayaḥ | vayo dadhat padvate rerihat sadānu śyenī sacate vartanīr aha ||

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

Licking the mantle of the Mother, far and wide he wanders over fields with beasts that flee apace. Strengthening all that walk, licking up all around, a blackened path, forsooth, he leaves where'er he goes.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
