RV 4.17.3

भिनद् गिरिं शवसा वज्रम् इष्णन्न् आविष्कृण्वानः सहसान ओजः । वधीद् वृत्रं वज्रेण मन्दसानः सरन्न् आपो जवसा हतवृष्णीः ॥

bhinad giriṃ śavasā vajram iṣṇann āviṣkṛṇvānaḥ sahasāna ojaḥ | vadhīd vṛtraṃ vajreṇa mandasānaḥ sarann āpo javasā hatavṛṣṇīḥ ||

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

Hurling his bolt with might he cleft the mountain, while, putting forth his strength, he showed his vigour. He slaughtered Vrtra with his bolt, exulting, and, their lord slain, forth flowed the waters swiftly.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
