Sukta 16
तौवि॑लि॒केऽवे॑ल॒यावा॒यमै॑ल॒ब ऐ॑लयीत्। ब॒भ्रुश्च॑ ब॒भ्रुक॑र्ण॒श्चापे॑हि॒ निरा॑ल
tauvī́like ’vélayāvā yám ailabá áilayīt | babhrúś ca babhrúkarṇaś cā́pehi nír ā́l
O Tauvīlike, O Avelayāva—whom Ailaba would make to ail; Babhru and Babhru-ear likewise: depart! forth, away from here!
तौविलिके और अवेलयाव को बुलाया जा रहा है। ऐलब इनको तकलीफ देना चाहता है। बभ्रु और बभ्रु-कान भी यहाँ हैं। अब सबको यहाँ से निकलना है, बाहर जाओ, दूर हो जाओ।
