RV 4 27.1

गर्भे नु सन्न् अन्व् एषाम् अवेदम् अहꣳ देवानाꣳ जनिमानि विश्वा । शतम् मा पुर आयसीर् अरक्षन्न् अध श्येनो जवसा निर् अदीयम्

garbhe nu sann anv eṣām avedam ahaṁ devānāṁ janimāni viśvā | śatam mā pura āyasīr arakṣann adha śyeno javasā nir adīyam

While still in the womb I knew in succession all the births of these gods. A hundred iron strongholds guarded me; then, a falcon, I flew out with speed.

RV 4 27.2

न घा स माम् अप जोषꣳ जभाराभीम् आस त्वक्षसा वीर्येण । ईर्मा पुरꣳधिर् अजहाद् अरातीर् उत वाताꣳ अतरच् छूशुवानः

na ghā sa mām apa joṣaṁ jabhārābhīm āsa tvakṣasā vīryeṇa | īrmā puraṁdhir ajahād arātīr uta vātām̐ atarac chūśuvānaḥ

He surely did not carry me off at his pleasure: I overcame him by strength and manly power. At once the one of abundant insight left the hostile powers behind, and, swelling with might, he crossed over the winds.

अव यच् छ्येनो अस्वनीद् अध द्योर् वि यद् यदि वात ऊहुः पुरꣳधिम् । सृजद् यद् अस्मा अव ह क्षिपज् ज्याꣳ कृशानुर् अस्ता मनसा भुरण्यन्

When the falcon screamed downward from heaven, and when the winds bore away the one of abundant insight — when Kṛśānu the archer, stirring eagerly in mind, let fly at him and shot the bowstring down.

RV 4 27.4

ऋजिप्य ईम् इन्द्रावतो न भुज्युꣳ श्येनो जभार बृहतो अधि ष्णोः । अन्तः पतत् पतत्र्य् अस्य पर्णम् अध यामनि प्रसितस्य तद् वेः

ṛjipya īm indrāvato na bhujyuṁ śyeno jabhāra bṛhato adhi ṣṇoḥ | antaḥ patat patatry asya parṇam adha yāmani prasitasya tad veḥ

The onrushing falcon carried him off from the lofty height, as (one carries) Bhujyu for the man who has Indra on his side. In mid-flight a winged feather of his fell — that of the bird when it was shot at on its course.

अध श्वेतꣳ कलशꣳ गोभिर् अक्तम् आपिप्यानम् मघवा शुक्रम् अन्धः । अध्वर्युभिः प्रयतम् मध्वो अग्रम् इन्द्रो मदाय प्रति धत् पिबध्यै शूरो मदाय प्रति धत् पिबध्यै

adha śvetaṁ kalaśaṁ gobhir aktam āpipyānam maghavā śukram andhaḥ | adhvaryubhiḥ prayatam madhvo agram indro madāya prati dhat pibadhyai śūro madāya prati dhat pibadhyai

Then the bounteous one (took) the white pitcher, anointed with milk, swelling, the bright juice — the foremost of the honey, proffered by the adhvaryus: Indra set it before him to drink, for intoxication; the hero set it before him to drink, for intoxication.
