RV 4.16.14

सूर उपाके तन्वं दधानो वि यत् ते चेत्य् अमृतस्य वर्पः । मृगो न हस्ती तविषीम् उषाणः सिंहो न भीम आयुधानि बिभ्रत् ॥

sūra upāke tanvaṃ dadhāno vi yat te cety amṛtasya varpaḥ | mṛgo na hastī taviṣīm uṣāṇaḥ siṃho na bhīma āyudhāni bibhrat ||

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

What time thou settest near the Sun thy body, thy form, Immortal One, is seen expanding: Thou a wild elephant with might invested. like a dread lion as thou wieldest weapons.
