RV 1.127.3

स हि पुरू चिद् ओजसा विरुक्मता दीद्यानो भवति द्रुहन्तरः परशुर् न द्रुहन्तरः । वीळु चिद् यस्य समृतौ श्रुवद् वनेव यत् स्थिरम् । निःषहमाणो यमते नायते धन्वासहा नायते ॥

sa hi purū cid ojasā virukmatā dīdyāno bhavati druhantaraḥ paraśur na druhantaraḥ | vīḷu cid yasya samṛtau śruvad vaneva yat sthiram | niḥṣahamāṇo yamate nāyate dhanvāsahā nāyate ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

He with his shining glory blazing far and wide, he verily it is who slayeth demon foes, slayeth the demons like an axe: At whose close touch things solid shake, and what is stable yields like trees. Subduing all, he keeps his ground and flinches not, from the skilled archer flinches not.
