Sukta 2.33
स्थिरेभिरङ्गैः पुरुरूप उग्रो बभ्रुः शुक्रेभिः पिपिशे हिरण्यैः । ईशानादस्य भुवनस्य भूरेर्न वा उ योषद्रुद्रादसुर्यम् ॥
sthirébhir áṅgaiḥ pururū́pa ugró babhrúḥ śukrébhiḥ pipiśé híraṇyaiḥ | ī́śānād asyá bhúvanasya bhū́rer ná vā u yoṣad rudrā́d asúryam ||
With firm limbs, many-formed and terrible, the tawny one is adorned with shining gold. As lord of this wide world, none can withhold from Rudra the sovereign might; no darkness can stand before his asuric power.
