सिन्धुर् न क्षोदः शिमीवाꣳ ऋघायतो वृषेव वध्रीꣳर् अभि वष्ट्य् ओजसा । अग्नेर् इव प्रसितिर् नाह वर्तवे यꣳ-यꣳ युजꣳ कृणुते ब्रह्मणस् पतिः

For him the floods of heaven flow never failing down: first with the heroes he goes forth to war for kine. He slays in unabated vigour with great might, whomever Brahmaṇaspati takes for his friend.
