Rig Veda 6.75.11: Mandala 6, Sukta 75, Mantra 11
Sukta 6.75
सुपर्णं वस्ते मृगो अस्या दन्तो गोभिः संनद्धा पतति प्रसूता । यत्रा नरः सं च वि च द्रवन्ति तत्रास्मभ्यमिषवः शर्म यंसन् ॥
su-parṇáṃ vaste mṛgó asyā dánto góbhīḥ saṃ-naddhā patati prá-sūtā | yátrā nárāḥ sáṃ ca ví ca drávanti tátrāsmábhyam íṣavaḥ śárma yaṃsan ||
A bird of fair wing she wears; her ‘tooth’ is the wild beast; bound with the cows (rays) she flies forth when released. Where the men run together and scatter, there may the arrows for us bring shelter—may the directed forces become a protection, not a harm.
