Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.25.4

RV 6.25.4

शूरो वा शूरं वनते शरीरैस् तनूरुचा तरुषि यत् कृण्वैते । तोके वा गोषु तनये यद् अप्सु वि क्रन्दसी उर्वरासु ब्रवैते ॥

śūro vā śūraṃ vanate śarīrais tanūrucā taruṣi yat kṛṇvaite | toke vā goṣu tanaye yad apsu vi krandasī urvarāsu bravaite ||

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

With strength of limb the hero slays the hero, when bright in arms they range them for the combat. When two opposing hosts contend in battle for seed and offspring, waters, kine, or corn-lands.
