RV 10.117.8

एकपाद् भूयो द्विपदो वि चक्रमे द्विपात् त्रिपादम् अभ्य् एति पश्चात् । चतुष्पाद् एति द्विपदाम् अभिस्वरे सम्पश्यन् पङ्क्तीर् उपतिष्ठमानः ॥

ekapād bhūyo dvipado vi cakrame dvipāt tripādam abhy eti paścāt | catuṣpād eti dvipadām abhisvare sampaśyan paṅktīr upatiṣṭhamānaḥ ||

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

He with one foot hath far outrun the biped, and the two-footed catches the three-footed. Four-footed creatures come when bipeds call them, and stand and look where five are met together.
