RV 1.165.6

क्व स्या वो मरुतः स्वधासीद् यन् माम् एकं समधत्ताहिहत्ये । अहं ह्य् उग्रस् तविषस् तुविष्मान् विश्वस्य शत्रोर् अनमं वधस्नैः ॥

kva syā vo marutaḥ svadhāsīd yan mām ekaṃ samadhattāhihatye | ahaṃ hy ugras taviṣas tuviṣmān viśvasya śatror anamaṃ vadhasnaiḥ ||

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

Where was that nature then of yours, O Maruts, that ye charged me alone to slay the Dragon? For I in truth am fierce and strong and mighty. I bent away from every foeman's weapons.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
