Rig Veda 1.128.3

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

एवेन सद्यः पर्येति पार्थिवं मुहुर्गी रेतो वर्षभः कनिक्रदद दधद रेतह कनिक्रदत | शतं चक्षाणो अक्षभिर्देवो वनेषु तुर्वणिः | सदो दधान उपरेषु सानुष्वग्निः परेषु सानुषु

IAST Romanisation

evena sadyaḥ paryeti pārthivaṃ muhurghī reto vṛṣabhaḥ kanikradad dadhad retah kanikradat | śataṃ cakṣāṇo akṣabhirdevo vaneṣu turvaṇiḥ | sado dadhāna upareṣu sānuṣvaghniḥ pareṣu sānuṣu

English Translation (Griffith)

In ordered course forthwith he traverses the earth, swift-swallowing, bellowing Steer, bearing the genial seed, bearing the seed and bellowing. Observant with a hundred eyes the God is conqueror in the wood: Agni, who hath his seat in broad plains here below, and in the high lands far away.
