RV 4.40.3

उत स्मास्य द्रवतस् तुरण्यतः पर्णं न वेर् अनु वाति प्रगर्धिनः । श्येनस्येव ध्रजतो अङ्कसम् परि दधिक्राव्णः सहोर्जा तरित्रतः ॥

uta smāsya dravatas turaṇyataḥ parṇaṃ na ver anu vāti pragardhinaḥ | śyenasyeva dhrajato aṅkasam pari dadhikrāvṇaḥ sahorjā taritrataḥ ||

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

His pinion, rapid runner, fans him m his way, as of a bird that hastens onward to its aim, And, as it were a falcon's gliding through the air, strikes Dadhikravan's side as he speeds on with might.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
