Sukta 16
यदा वलस्य पीयतो जसुं भेद् बृहस्पतिरग्नितपोभिरर्कैः । दद्भिर्न जिह्वा परिविष्टमाददाविर्निधींरकृणोदुस्रियाणाम्

When Bṛhaspati, with fiery ardours and with hymns, brake the swelling Vala’s jaw, then, as a tongue with teeth takes what is wrapped about, he seized it forth, and made the treasures of the ruddy cows lie manifest.
