तिग्मं चिदेम महि वर्पो अस्य भसदश्वो न यमसान आसा | विजेहमानः परशुर्न जिह्वां दरविर्न दरावयति दारु धक्षत

tighmaṃ cidema mahi varpo asya bhasadaśvo na yamasāna āsā | vijehamānaḥ paraśurna jihvāṃ dravirna drāvayati dāru dhakṣat

English Translation (Griffith)

Fierce is his gait and vast his wondrous body: he champeth like a horse with bit and bridle, And, darting forth his tongue, as ’twere a hatchet, burning the woods, smelteth them like a smelter.
