bhūṣa̱n na yo 'dhi̍ ba̱bhrūṣu̱ namna̍te̱ vṛṣe̍va̱ patnī̍r a̱bhy e̍ti̱ roru̍vat |
o̱jā̱yamā̍nas ta̱nva̍ś ca śumbhate bhī̱mo na śṛṅgā̍ davidhāva du̱rgṛbhi̍ḥ ||

Amid brown plants he stoops as if adorning them, and rushes bellowing like a bull upon his wives. Proving his might, he decks the glory of his form, and shakes his horns like one terrific, bard to stay.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
