RV 4.40.4 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 4.40.4

उत स्य वाजी क्षिपणिं तुरण्यति ग्रीवायाम् बद्धो अपिकक्ष आसनि । क्रतुं दधिक्रा अनु संतवीत्वत् पथाम् अङ्कांस्य् अन्व् आपनीफणत् ॥

uta sya vājī kṣipaṇiṃ turaṇyati grīvāyām baddho apikakṣa āsani | kratuṃ dadhikrā anu saṃtavītvat pathām aṅkāṃsy anv āpanīphaṇat ||

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

Bound by the neck and by the flanks and by the mouth, the vigorous Courser lends new swiftness to his speed. Drawing himself together, as his strength allows, Dadhikras springs along the windings of the paths.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
