Rig Veda 10.142.4

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

यदुद्वतो निवतो यासि बप्सत पर्थगेषि परगर्धिनीवसेना | यदा ते वातो अनुवाति शोचिर्वप्तेव शमश्रु वपसिप्र भूम

yadudvato nivato yāsi bapsat pṛthagheṣi praghardhinīvasenā | yadā te vāto anuvāti śocirvapteva śmaśru vapasipra bhūma

English Translation (Griffith)

O'er hills through vales devouring as thou goest, thou partest like an army fain for booty As when a barber shaves a beard, thou shavest earth when the wind blows on thy flame and fans it.
