Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 2.12.5

RV 2.12.5

यं स्मा पृच्छन्ति कुह सेति घोरम् उतेम् आहुर् नैषो अस्तीत्य् एनम् । सो अर्यः पुष्टीर् विज इवा मिनाति श्रद् अस्मै धत्त स जनास इन्द्रः ॥

yaṃ smā pṛcchanti kuha seti ghoram utem āhur naiṣo astīty enam | so aryaḥ puṣṭīr vija ivā mināti śrad asmai dhatta sa janāsa indraḥ ||

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

Of whom, the Terrible, they ask, Where is He? or verily they say of him, He is not. He sweeps away, like birds, the foe's possessions. Have faith in him, for He, O men, is Indra.
