Rig Veda 1.141.8
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
रथो न यातः शिक्वभिः कर्तो दयामङगेभिररुषेभिरीयते | आदस्य ते कर्ष्णासो दक्षि सूरयः शूरस्येव तवेषथादीषते वयः
IAST Romanisation
ratho na yātaḥ śikvabhiḥ kṛto dyāmaṅghebhiraruṣebhirīyate | ādasya te kṛṣṇāso dakṣi sūrayaḥ śūrasyeva tveṣathādīṣate vayaḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
Like a swift chariot made by men who know their art, he with his red limbs lifts himself aloft to heaven. Thy worshippers become by burning black of hue: their strength flies as before a hero's violence.
