Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.17.9

RV 6.17.9

अध द्यौश् चित् ते अप सा नु वज्राद् द्वितानमद् भियसा स्वस्य मन्योः । अहिं यद् इन्द्रो अभ्य् ओहसानं नि चिद् विश्वायुः शयथे जघान ॥

adha dyauś cit te apa sā nu vajrād dvitānamad bhiyasā svasya manyoḥ | ahiṃ yad indro abhy ohasānaṃ ni cid viśvāyuḥ śayathe jaghāna ||

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

Yea, e'en that heaven itself of old bent backward before thy bolt, in terror of its anger, When Indra, life of every living creature, smote down within his lair the assailing Dragon.
