Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 2.16.3

RV 2.16.3

न क्षोणीभ्याम् परिभ्वे त इन्द्रियं न समुद्रैः पर्वतैर् इन्द्र ते रथः । न ते वज्रम् अन्व् अश्नोति कश् चन यद् आशुभिः पतसि योजना पुरु ॥

na kṣoṇībhyām paribhve ta indriyaṃ na samudraiḥ parvatair indra te rathaḥ | na te vajram anv aśnoti kaś cana yad āśubhiḥ patasi yojanā puru ||

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

Not by both worlds is thine own power to be surpassed, nor may thy car be stayed by mountains or by seas. None cometh near, O Indra, to thy thunderbolt, when with swift steeds thou fliest over many a league.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
