RV 6.20.6

प्र श्येनो न मदिरम् अंशुम् अस्मै शिरो दासस्य नमुचेर् मथायन् । प्रावन् नमीं साप्यं ससन्तम् पृणग् राया सम् इषा सं स्वस्ति ॥

pra śyeno na madiram aṃśum asmai śiro dāsasya namucer mathāyan | prāvan namīṃ sāpyaṃ sasantam pṛṇag rāyā sam iṣā saṃ svasti ||

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

As the Hawk rent for him the stalk that gladdens, he wrenched the head from Namuci the Dasa. He guarded Nam, Sayya's son, in slumber, and sated him with food, success, and riches.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
