स हि पुरू चिदोजसा विरुक्मता दीद्यानो भवति द्रुहन्तरः परशुर्न द्रुहन्तरः । वीडु चिद्यस्य समृतौ श्रुवद्वनेव यत्स्थिरम् । निष्षहमाणो यमते नायते धन्वासहा नायते ॥ १८१५

sa hi purū cidojasā virukmatā dīdyāno bhavati druhantaraḥ paraśurna druhantaraḥ . vīḍu cidyasya samṛtau śruvadvaneva yatsthiram . niṣṣahamāṇo yamate nāyate dhanvāsahā nāyate .. 1815

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

He with his shining glory blazing far and wide, he verily it is who slayeth demon foes, slayeth the demons like an axe: At whose close touch things solid shake, and what is stable yields like trees. Subduing all, he keeps his ground and flinches not, from the skilled archer flinches not.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 1.127.3; the wording of this text may differ in places.
