Rig Veda 2.4.4

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

अस्य रण्वा सवस्येव पुष्टिः सन्द्र्ष्टिरस्य हियानस्य दक्षोः | वि यो भरिभ्रदोषधीषु जिह्वामत्यो न रथ्यो दोधवीति वारान

IAST Romanisation

asya raṇvā svasyeva puṣṭiḥ sandṛṣṭirasya hiyānasya dakṣoḥ | vi yo bharibhradoṣadhīṣu jihvāmatyo na rathyo dodhavīti vārān

English Translation (Griffith)

Sweet is his growth as of one's own possessions; his look when rushing fain to burn is lovely. He darts his tongue forth, like a harnessed courser who shakes his flowing tail, among the bushes.
