RV 5.48.4

ताम् अस्य रीतिम् परशोर् इव प्रत्य् अनीकम् अख्यम् भुजे अस्य वर्पसः । सचा यदि पितुमन्तम् इव क्षयं रत्नं दधाति भरहूतये विशे ॥

tām asya rītim paraśor iva praty anīkam akhyam bhuje asya varpasaḥ | sacā yadi pitumantam iva kṣayaṃ ratnaṃ dadhāti bharahūtaye viśe ||

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

I, to enjoy the beauty of his form, behold that rapid rush of his as 'twere an axe's edge, What time he gives the man who calls on him in fight wealth like a dwelling-house filled full with store of food.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
