Sukta 1.182
कः स्विद्वृक्षो निःष्ठितो मध्ये अर्णसो यं तौग्र्यो नाधितः पर्यषस्वजत् । पर्णा मृगस्य पतरोरिवारभ उदश्विना ऊहथुः श्रोमताय कम् ॥
káḥ svíd vṛkṣó níḥṣṭhito mádhye árṇaso yáṃ taugryó nā́dhitaḥ páryaṣasvajat | párṇā mṛgásya pátaror ivārabha úd aśvinā ūhathuḥ śrómātāya kám ||
What was that tree standing forth in the midst of the flood, which the afflicted Taugrya clasped around? As one clings to the two wings of a flying creature, so, O Ashvins, you bore him up and out for his saving.
