RV 1.55.5 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 1.55.5

स इन् महानि समिथानि मज्मना कृणोति युध्म ओजसा जनेभ्यः । अधा चन श्रद् दधति त्विषीमत इन्द्राय वज्रं निघनिघ्नते वधम् ॥

sa in mahāni samithāni majmanā kṛṇoti yudhma ojasā janebhyaḥ | adhā cana śrad dadhati tviṣīmata indrāya vajraṃ nighanighnate vadham ||

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

Yet verily the Warrior in his vigorous strength stirreth up with his might great battles for mankind; And men have faith in Indra, the resplendent One, what time he hurleth down his bolt, his dart of death.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
