Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.168.8

RV 1.168.8

प्रति ष्टोभन्ति सिन्धवः पविभ्यो यद् अभ्रियां वाचम् उदीरयन्ति । अव स्मयन्त विद्युतः पृथिव्यां यदी घृतम् मरुतः प्रुष्णुवन्ति ॥

prati ṣṭobhanti sindhavaḥ pavibhyo yad abhriyāṃ vācam udīrayanti | ava smayanta vidyutaḥ pṛthivyāṃ yadī ghṛtam marutaḥ pruṣṇuvanti ||

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

The rivers roar before your chariot fellies when they are uttering the voice of rain-clouds. The lightnings laugh upon the earth beneath them, what time the Maruts scatter forth their fatness.
