Rig Veda 3.30.8: Mandala 3, Sukta 30, Mantra 8
Sukta 3.30
सहदानुं पुरुहूत क्षियन्तमहस्तमिन्द्र सं पिणक्कुणारुम् । अभि वृत्रं वर्धमानं पियारुमपादमिन्द्र तवसा जघन्थ ॥
sahádānuṃ puruhūta kṣiyántam ahástam indra sáṃ piṇak kúṇārum | abhí vṛtráṃ várdhamānaṃ piyā́rum apā́dam indra távasā jaghántha ||
O much-invoked Indra, you shattered Kūṇāru—Sahadānu, the wasting one, the handless. You struck down with your force the Vṛtra that was growing, the swollen dark resistance, footless and unable to move in the light.
