Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.143.5

RV 1.143.5

न यो वराय मरुताम् इव स्वनः सेनेव सृष्टा दिव्या यथाशनिः । अग्निर् जम्भैस् तिगितैर् अत्ति भर्वति योधो न शत्रून् स वना न्य् ऋञ्जते ॥

na yo varāya marutām iva svanaḥ seneva sṛṣṭā divyā yathāśaniḥ | agnir jambhais tigitair atti bharvati yodho na śatrūn sa vanā ny ṛñjate ||

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

He whom no force can stay, even as the Maruts' roar, like to a dart sent forth, even as the bolt from heaven, Agni with sharpened jaws chews up and eats the trees, and conquers them as when the warrior smites his foes.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
