Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.3.4

RV 6.3.4

तिग्मं चिद् एम महि वर्पो अस्य भसद् अश्वो न यमसान आसा । विजेहमानः परशुर् न जिह्वां द्रविर् न द्रावयति दारु धक्षत् ॥

tigmaṃ cid ema mahi varpo asya bhasad aśvo na yamasāna āsā | vijehamānaḥ paraśur na jihvāṃ dravir na drāvayati dāru dhakṣat ||

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

Fierce is his gait and vast his wondrous body: he champeth like a horse with bit and bridle, And, darting forth his tongue, as 'twere a hatchet, burning the woods, smelteth them like a smelter.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
