RV 1.52.5 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 1.52.5

अभि स्ववृष्टिम् मदे अस्य युध्यतो रघ्वीर् इव प्रवणे सस्रुर् ऊतयः । इन्द्रो यद् वज्री धृषमाणो अन्धसा भिनद् वलस्य परिधींर् इव त्रितः ॥

abhi svavṛṣṭim made asya yudhyato raghvīr iva pravaṇe sasrur ūtayaḥ | indro yad vajrī dhṛṣamāṇo andhasā bhinad valasya paridhīṃr iva tritaḥ ||

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

To him, as in wild joy he fought with him who stayed the rain, his helpers sped like swift streams down a slope, When Indra, thunder-armed, made bold by Soma draughts, as Trta cleaveth Vala's fences, cleft him through.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
