Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.54.10

RV 1.54.10

अपाम् अतिष्ठद् धरुणह्वरं तमो ऽन्तर् वृत्रस्य जठरेषु पर्वतः । अभीम् इन्द्रो नद्यो वव्रिणा हिता विश्वा अनुष्ठाः प्रवणेषु जिघ्नते ॥

apām atiṣṭhad dharuṇahvaraṃ tamo 'ntar vṛtrasya jaṭhareṣu parvataḥ | abhīm indro nadyo vavriṇā hitā viśvā anuṣṭhāḥ pravaṇeṣu jighnate ||

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

There darkness stood, the vault that stayed the waters' flow: in Vrtra's hollow side the rain-cloud lay concealed. But Indra smote the rivers which the obstructer stayed, flood following after flood, down steep declivities.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
