1.141.8

ratho̱ na yā̱taḥ śikva̍bhiḥ kṛ̱to dyām aṅge̍bhir aru̱ṣebhi̍r īyate |
ād a̍sya̱ te kṛ̱ṣṇāso̍ dakṣi sū̱raya̱ḥ śūra̍syeva tve̱ṣathā̍d īṣate̱ vaya̍ḥ ||

Like a swift chariot made by men who know their art, he with his red limbs lifts himself aloft to heaven. Thy worshippers become by burning black of hue: their strength flies as before a hero's violence.

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