Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.96.4

RV 10.96.4

दिवि न केतुर् अधि धायि हर्यतो विव्यचद् वज्रो हरितो न रंह्या । तुदद् अहिं हरिशिप्रो य आयसः सहस्रशोका अभवद् धरिम्भरः ॥

divi na ketur adhi dhāyi haryato vivyacad vajro harito na raṃhyā | tudad ahiṃ hariśipro ya āyasaḥ sahasraśokā abhavad dharimbharaḥ ||

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

As if a lovely ray were laid upon the sky, the golden thunderbolt spread out as in a race. That iron bolt with yellow jaw smote Ahi down. A thousand flames had he who bore the tawny-hued.
