Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.85.8

RV 1.85.8

शूरा इवेद् युयुधयो न जग्मयः श्रवस्यवो न पृतनासु येतिरे । भयन्ते विश्वा भुवना मरुद्भ्यो राजान इव त्वेषसंदृशो नरः ॥

śūrā ived yuyudhayo na jagmayaḥ śravasyavo na pṛtanāsu yetire | bhayante viśvā bhuvanā marudbhyo rājāna iva tveṣasaṃdṛśo naraḥ ||

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

In sooth like heroes fain for fight they rush about, like combatants fame-seeking have they striven in war. Before the Maruts every creature is afraid: the men are like to Kings, terrible to behold.
