RV 4.18.5

अवद्यम् इव मन्यमाना गुहाकर् इन्द्रम् माता वीर्येणा न्यृष्टम् । अथोद् अस्थात् स्वयम् अत्कं वसान आ रोदसी अपृणाज् जायमानः ॥

avadyam iva manyamānā guhākar indram mātā vīryeṇā nyṛṣṭam | athod asthāt svayam atkaṃ vasāna ā rodasī apṛṇāj jāyamānaḥ ||

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

Deeming him a reproach, his mother hid him, Indra, endowed with all heroic valour. Then up he sprang himself, assumed his vesture, and filled, as soon as born, the earth and heaven.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
