Rig Veda 10.87.17
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
संवत्सरीणं पय उस्रियायास्तस्य माशीद यातुधानोन्र्चक्षः | पीयूषमग्ने यतमस्तित्र्प्सात तं परत्यञ्चमर्चिषा विध्य मर्मन
IAST Romanisation
saṃvatsarīṇaṃ paya usriyāyāstasya māśīd yātudhānonṛcakṣaḥ | pīyūṣamaghne yatamastitṛpsāt taṃ pratyañcamarciṣā vidhya marman
English Translation (Griffith)
The cow gives milk each year, O Man-regarder: let not the Yātudhāna ever taste it. If one would glut him with the biesting, Agni, pierce with thy flame his vitals as he meets thee.
