RV 10.51.6

अग्नेः पूर्वे भ्रातरो अर्थम् एतं रथीवाध्वानम् अन्व् आवरीवुः । तस्माद् भिया वरुण दूरम् आयं गौरो न क्षेप्नोर् अविजे ज्यायाः ॥

agneḥ pūrve bhrātaro artham etaṃ rathīvādhvānam anv āvarīvuḥ | tasmād bhiyā varuṇa dūram āyaṃ gauro na kṣepnor avije jyāyāḥ ||

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

This goal mine elder brothers erst selected, as he who drives a car the way to travel. So,Varuna, I fled afar through terror, as flies the wild-bull from an archer's bowstring.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
