RV 4.17.1

त्वम् महां इन्द्र तुभ्यं ह क्षा अनु क्षत्रम् मंहना मन्यत द्यौः । त्वं वृत्रं शवसा जघन्वान् सृजः सिन्धूंर् अहिना जग्रसानान् ॥

tvam mahāṃ indra tubhyaṃ ha kṣā anu kṣatram maṃhanā manyata dyauḥ | tvaṃ vṛtraṃ śavasā jaghanvān sṛjaḥ sindhūṃr ahinā jagrasānān ||

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

Great art thou, Indra; yea, the earth, with gladness, and heaven confess to thee thine high dominion. Thou in thy vigour having slaughtered Vrtra didst free the floods arrested by the Dragon.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
