Sukta 4.38
उत वाजिनं पुरुनिष्षिध्वानं दधिक्रामु ददथुर्विश्वकृष्टिम् । ऋजिप्यं श्येनं प्रुषितप्सुमाशुं चर्कृत्यमर्यो नृपतिं न शूरम् ॥
utá vā́jinaṃ puruniṣṣídhvānaṃ dadhikrā́m u dadathur viśvákṛṣṭim | ṛjipyáṃ śyénam pruṣitápsum āśúṃ carkṛ́tyam aryó nṛpátiṃ na śū́ram ||
And you gave the racer, Dadhikrāvan—manifold in his perfect achievements, belonging to all peoples. A straight-flying falcon, speckled and swift, tirelessly circling—like a noble lord of men, like a hero: so is that power you established.
