RV 4.42.8

अस्माकम् अत्र पितरस् त आसन् सप्त ऋषयो दौर्गहे बध्यमाने । त आयजन्त त्रसदस्युम् अस्या इन्द्रं न वृत्रतुरम् अर्धदेवम् ॥

asmākam atra pitaras ta āsan sapta ṛṣayo daurgahe badhyamāne | ta āyajanta trasadasyum asyā indraṃ na vṛtraturam ardhadevam ||

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

Our fathers then were these, the Seven his, what time the son of Durgaha was captive. For her they gained by sacrifice Trasadasyu, a demi-god, like Indra, conquering foemen.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
