RV 5.83.2

वि वृक्षान् हन्त्य् उत हन्ति रक्षसो विश्वम् बिभाय भुवनम् महावधात् । उतानागा ईषते वृष्ण्यावतो यत् पर्जन्य स्तनयन् हन्ति दुष्कृतः ॥

vi vṛkṣān hanty uta hanti rakṣaso viśvam bibhāya bhuvanam mahāvadhāt | utānāgā īṣate vṛṣṇyāvato yat parjanya stanayan hanti duṣkṛtaḥ ||

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

He smites the trees apart, he slays the demons: all life fears him who wields the mighty weapon. From him exceeding strong faces e'en the guiltless, when thundering Parjanya smites the wicked.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
