RV 10 115.1

चित्र इच् छिशोस् तरुणस्य वक्षथो न यो मातराव् अप्येति धातवे । अनूधा यदि जीजनद् अधा च नु ववक्ष सद्यो महि दूत्य१ꣳ चरन्

citra ic chiśos taruṇasya vakṣatho na yo mātarāv apyeti dhātave | anūdhā yadi jījanad adhā ca nu vavakṣa sadyo mahi dūtya1ṁ caran

Wondrous indeed is the growing of the young child, who does not go to the two mothers to suck. As soon as she that has no udder gave birth to him, then at once he grew strong, going on a great errand.

Agni indeed was the name conferred (on him), the most active one in the house, who joins together the woods with his tooth of ash — with grasping tongue, of good rite, snorting like a mighty one, a bull in the pasture.
