RV 1.152.2

एतच् चन त्वो वि चिकेतद् एषां सत्यो मन्त्रः कविशस्त ऋघावान् । त्रिरश्रिं हन्ति चतुरश्रिर् उग्रो देवनिदो ह प्रथमा अजूर्यन् ॥

etac cana tvo vi ciketad eṣāṃ satyo mantraḥ kaviśasta ṛghāvān | triraśriṃ hanti caturaśrir ugro devanido ha prathamā ajūryan ||

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

This might of theirs hath no one comprehended. True is the crushing word the sage hath uttered, The fearful four-edged bolt smites down the three-edged, and those who hate the Gods first fall and perish.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
