Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 2.19.2

RV 2.19.2

अस्य मन्दानो मध्वो वज्रहस्तो ऽहिम् इन्द्रो अर्णोवृतं वि वृश्चत् । प्र यद् वयो न स्वसराण्य् अच्छा प्रयांसि च नदीनां चक्रमन्त ॥

asya mandāno madhvo vajrahasto 'him indro arṇovṛtaṃ vi vṛścat | pra yad vayo na svasarāṇy acchā prayāṃsi ca nadīnāṃ cakramanta ||

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

Cheered by this meath Indra, whose hand wields thunder, rent piecemeal Ahi who barred up the waters, So that the quickening currents of the rivers flowed forth like birds unto their resting-places.
