RV 7.20.5

वृषा जजान वृषणं रणाय तम् उ चिन् नारी नर्यं ससूव । प्र यः सेनानीर् अध नृभ्यो अस्तीनः सत्वा गवेषणः स धृष्णुः ॥

vṛṣā jajāna vṛṣaṇaṃ raṇāya tam u cin nārī naryaṃ sasūva | pra yaḥ senānīr adha nṛbhyo astīnaḥ satvā gaveṣaṇaḥ sa dhṛṣṇuḥ ||

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

A Bull begat the Bull for joy of battle, and a strong Mother brought forth him the manly. He who is Chief of men, their armies' Leader, is strong Hero, bold, and fain for booty.
