उत स्य वाजी सहुरिॠतावा शुश्रूषमाणस्तन्वा समर्ये । तुरं यतीषु तुरयन्नृजिप्योऽधि भ्रुवोः किरते रेणुमृञ्जन् ॥

আর সেই বাজী—সহিষ্ণু, ঋত-ধারক—দেহে সমরের জন্য উদ্‌গ্রীব হয়ে, গতিপথে যে দ্রুত তাকে আরও দ্রুত করে তোলে। ঋজিপ্য (সরল অঙ্গবিশিষ্ট) ধাবমান হয়ে ভ্রূর উপরে ধূলি ছিটিয়ে দেয়, এবং সেই রেণুতে নিজেকে রঞ্জিত (রঙিন) করে।
