Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.83.3

RV 5.83.3

रथीव कशयाश्वां अभिक्षिपन्न् आविर् दूतान् कृणुते वर्ष्यां अह । दूरात् सिंहस्य स्तनथा उद् ईरते यत् पर्जन्यः कृणुते वर्ष्यं नभः ॥

rathīva kaśayāśvāṃ abhikṣipann āvir dūtān kṛṇute varṣyāṃ aha | dūrāt siṃhasya stanathā ud īrate yat parjanyaḥ kṛṇute varṣyaṃ nabhaḥ ||

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

Like a car-driver whipping on his horses, he makes the messengers of rain spring forward. Far off resounds the roaring of the lion, what time Parjanya fills the sky with rain-cloud.
