Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 3.53.22

RV 3.53.22

परशुं चिद् वि तपति शिम्बलं चिद् वि वृश्चति । उखा चिद् इन्द्र येषन्ती प्रयस्ता फेनम् अस्यति ॥

paraśuṃ cid vi tapati śimbalaṃ cid vi vṛścati | ukhā cid indra yeṣantī prayastā phenam asyati ||

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

He heats his very axe, and then cuts a mere Semal blossom off. O Indra, like a caldron cracked and seething, so he pours out foam.
