Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.23.7

RV 4.23.7

द्रुहं जिघांसन् ध्वरसम् अनिन्द्रां तेतिक्ते तिग्मा तुजसे अनीका । ऋणा चिद् यत्र ऋणया न उग्रो दूरे अज्ञाता उषसो बबाधे ॥

druhaṃ jighāṃsan dhvarasam anindrāṃ tetikte tigmā tujase anīkā | ṛṇā cid yatra ṛṇayā na ugro dūre ajñātā uṣaso babādhe ||

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

About to stay the Indra-less destructive spirit he sharpens his keen arms to strike her. Whereby the Strong, although our debts' exactor, drives in the distant mornings that we know not.
