RV 1.59.6

प्र नू महित्वं वृषभस्य वोचं यम् पूरवो वृत्रहणं सचन्ते । वैश्वानरो दस्युम् अग्निर् जघन्वां अधूनोत् काष्ठा अव शम्बरम् भेत् ॥

pra nū mahitvaṃ vṛṣabhasya vocaṃ yam pūravo vṛtrahaṇaṃ sacante | vaiśvānaro dasyum agnir jaghanvāṃ adhūnot kāṣṭhā ava śambaram bhet ||

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

Now will I tell the greatness of the Hero whom Puru's sons follow as Vrtra's slayer: Agni Vaisvanara struck down the Dasyu, cleave Sambara through and shattered down his fences.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
