Rig Veda 10.51.6

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

अग्नेः पूर्वे भरातरो अर्थमेतं रथीवाध्वानमन्वावरीवुः | तस्माद भिया वरुण दूरमायं गौरो नक्षेप्नोरविजे जयायाः

IAST Romanisation

aghneḥ pūrve bhrātaro arthametaṃ rathīvādhvānamanvāvarīvuḥ | tasmād bhiyā varuṇa dūramāyaṃ ghauro nakṣepnoravije jyāyāḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

This goal mine elder brothers erst selected, as he who drives a car the way to travel. So,Varuṇa, I fled afar through terror, as flies the wild-bull from an archer's bowstring.
