RV 10.28.11

तेभ्यो गोधा अयथं कर्षद् एतद् ये ब्रह्मणः प्रतिपीयन्त्य् अन्नैः । सिम उक्ष्णो ऽवसृष्टां अदन्ति स्वयम् बलानि तन्वः शृणानाः ॥

tebhyo godhā ayathaṃ karṣad etad ye brahmaṇaḥ pratipīyanty annaiḥ | sima ukṣṇo 'vasṛṣṭāṃ adanti svayam balāni tanvaḥ śṛṇānāḥ ||

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

So may the leather strap their foot entangle who fatten on the viands of the Brahman. They all devour the bulls set free to wander, while they themselves destroy their bodies' vigour.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
