Rigveda
Quail rescued from a wolf's jaw by the Aśvins.
Even the quail from the jaw of the wolf — you two with your powers released her who had been swallowed.
You freed the quail from distress, and fitted Viśpalā's leg.
The quail called out to you two, O Aśvins, when you freed her from the very mouth of the wolf.
