Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.40.8

RV 1.40.8

उप क्षत्रम् पृञ्चीत हन्ति राजभिर् भये चित् सुक्षितिं दधे । नास्य वर्ता न तरुता महाधने नार्भे अस्ति वज्रिणः ॥

upa kṣatram pṛñcīta hanti rājabhir bhaye cit sukṣitiṃ dadhe | nāsya vartā na tarutā mahādhane nārbhe asti vajriṇaḥ ||

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

He amplifies his lordly might, with kings he slays: e'en mid alarms he dwells secure In great or lesser fight none checks him, none subdues,--the wielder of the thunderbolt.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
