Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.55.1

RV 1.55.1

दिवश् चिद् अस्य वरिमा वि पप्रथ इन्द्रं न मह्ना पृथिवी चन प्रति । भीमस् तुविष्माञ् चर्षणिभ्य आतपः शिशीते वज्रं तेजसे न वंसगः ॥

divaś cid asya varimā vi papratha indraṃ na mahnā pṛthivī cana prati | bhīmas tuviṣmāñ carṣaṇibhya ātapaḥ śiśīte vajraṃ tejase na vaṃsagaḥ ||

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

Though e'en this heaven's wide space and earth have spread them out, nor heaven nor earth may be in greatness Indra's match. Awful and very mighty, causing woe to men, he whets his thunderbolt for sharpness, as a bull.
