RV 1.85.9

त्वष्टा यद् वज्रं सुकृतं हिरण्ययं सहस्रभृष्टिं स्वपा अवर्तयत् । धत्त इन्द्रो नर्य् अपांसि कर्तवे ऽहन् वृत्रं निर् अपाम् औब्जद् अर्णवम् ॥

tvaṣṭā yad vajraṃ sukṛtaṃ hiraṇyayaṃ sahasrabhṛṣṭiṃ svapā avartayat | dhatta indro nary apāṃsi kartave 'han vṛtraṃ nir apām aubjad arṇavam ||

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

When Tvastar deft of hand had turned the thunderbolt, golden, with thousand edges, fashioned more skilfully, Indra received it to perform heroic deeds. Vrtra he slew, and forced the flood of water forth.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
