Rig Veda 6.12.5

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

अध समास्य पनयन्ति भासो वर्था यत तक्षदनुयाति पर्थ्वीम | सद्यो यः सयन्द्रो विषितो धवीयान रणो न तायुरति धन्वा राट

IAST Romanisation

adha smāsya panayanti bhāso vṛthā yat takṣadanuyāti pṛthvīm | sadyo yaḥ syandro viṣito dhavīyān ṛṇo na tāyurati dhanvā rāṭ

English Translation (Griffith)

Men wonder at his shining glows when, paring the woods with case, o’er the broad earth he goeth, And, like a rushing flood, loosed quickly, burneth, swift as a guilty thief, o’er desert places.
