RV 1.130.4

दादृहाणो वज्रम् इन्द्रो गभस्त्योः क्षद्मेव तिग्मम् असनाय सं श्यद् अहिहत्याय सं श्यत् । संविव्यान ओजसा शवोभिर् इन्द्र मज्मना । तष्टेव वृक्षं वनिनो नि वृश्चसि परश्वेव नि वृश्चसि ॥

dādṛhāṇo vajram indro gabhastyoḥ kṣadmeva tigmam asanāya saṃ śyad ahihatyāya saṃ śyat | saṃvivyāna ojasā śavobhir indra majmanā | taṣṭeva vṛkṣaṃ vanino ni vṛścasi paraśveva ni vṛścasi ||

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

Grasping his thunderbolt with both hands, Indra made its edge most keen, for hurling, like a carving-knife for Ahi's slaughter made it keen. Endued with majesty and strength, O Indra, and with lordly might, Thou crashest down the trees, as when a craftsman fells, crashest them down as with an axe.
