Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.141.8

RV 1.141.8

रथो न यातः शिक्वभिः कृतो द्याम् अङ्गेभिर् अरुषेभिर् ईयते । आद् अस्य ते कृष्णासो दक्षि सूरयः शूरस्येव त्वेषथाद् ईषते वयः ॥

ratho na yātaḥ śikvabhiḥ kṛto dyām aṅgebhir aruṣebhir īyate | ād asya te kṛṣṇāso dakṣi sūrayaḥ śūrasyeva tveṣathād īṣate vayaḥ ||

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

Like a swift chariot made by men who know their art, he with his red limbs lifts himself aloft to heaven. Thy worshippers become by burning black of hue: their strength flies as before a hero's violence.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
