yaḥ pauru̍ṣeyeṇa kra̱viṣā̍ sama̱ṅkte yo aśvye̍na pa̱śunā̍ yātu̱dhāna̍ḥ |
yo a̱ghnyāyā̱ bhara̍ti kṣī̱ram a̍gne̱ teṣā̍ṁ śī̱rṣāṇi̱ hara̱sāpi̍ vṛśca ||

The fiend who smears himself with flesh of cattle, with flesh of horses and of human bodies, Who steals the milch-cow's milk away, O Agni,– tear off the heads of such with fiery fury.

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