RV 10.28.4

इदं सु मे जरितर् आ चिकिद्धि प्रतीपं शापं नद्यो वहन्ति । लोपाशः सिंहम् प्रत्यञ्चम् अत्साः क्रोष्टा वराहं निर् अतक्त कक्षात् ॥

idaṃ su me jaritar ā cikiddhi pratīpaṃ śāpaṃ nadyo vahanti | lopāśaḥ siṃham pratyañcam atsāḥ kroṣṭā varāhaṃ nir atakta kakṣāt ||

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

Resolve for me, O singer, this my riddle: The rivers send their swelling water backward: The fox steals up to the approaching lion: the jackal drives the wild-boar from the brushwood.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
