Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.3.5

RV 6.3.5

स इद् अस्तेव प्रति धाद् असिष्यञ् छिशीत तेजो ऽयसो न धाराम् । चित्रध्रजतिर् अरतिर् यो अक्तोर् वेर् न द्रुषद्वा रघुपत्मजंहाः ॥

sa id asteva prati dhād asiṣyañ chiśīta tejo 'yaso na dhārām | citradhrajatir aratir yo aktor ver na druṣadvā raghupatmajaṃhāḥ ||

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

Archer-like, fain toshoot, he sets his arrow, and whets his splendour like the edge of iron: The messenger of night with brilliant pathway, like a tree-roosting bird of rapid pinion.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
