RV 6.16.39

य उग्र इव शर्यहा तिग्मशृङ्गो न वंसगः । अग्ने पुरो रुरोजिथ ॥

ya ugra iva śaryahā tigmaśṛṅgo na vaṃsagaḥ | agne puro rurojitha ||

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

Mighty as one who slays with shafts, or like a bull with sharpened horn, Agni, thou breakest down the forts.
