RV 4.38.8

उत स्मास्य तन्यतोर् इव द्योर् ऋघायतो अभियुजो भयन्ते । यदा सहस्रम् अभि षीम् अयोधीद् दुर्वर्तुः स्मा भवति भीम ऋञ्जन् ॥

uta smāsya tanyator iva dyor ṛghāyato abhiyujo bhayante | yadā sahasram abhi ṣīm ayodhīd durvartuḥ smā bhavati bhīma ṛñjan ||

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

And at his thunder, like the roar of heaven, those who attack tremble and are affrighted; For when he fights against embattled thousands, dread is he in his striving; none may stay him.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
