उत स्मास्य द्रवतस् तुरणयतः पर्णं न वेर् अनु वाति प्रगर्धिनः । श्येनस्येव ध्रजतो ऽ अङ्कसं परि दधिक्राव्णः स होर्जा तरित्रः स्वाहा ॥

Roman (IAST) transliteration rendered by HREEM from the edition's Devanagari; the Devanagari is the edition's own.
His pinion, rapid runner, fans him m his way, as of a bird that hastens onward to its aim, And, as it were a falcon's gliding through the air, strikes Dadhikravan's side as he speeds on with might.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 4.40.3; the wording of this text may differ in places.
