Rig Veda 4.38.8: Mandala 4, Sukta 38, Mantra 8
Sukta 4.38
उत स्मास्य तन्यतोरिव द्योॠघायतो अभियुजो भयन्ते । यदा सहस्रमभि षीमयोधीद्दुर्वर्तुः स्मा भवति भीम ऋञ्जन् ॥
utá smā́sya tanyatóḥ iva dyó ṛghāyató abhiyújo bhayante | yadā sahásram abhí sīm áyodhīd duḥvártuḥ smā bhavati bhīmá ṛñján ||
Y como el Cielo que truena, su embestida hace temer a los agresores. Cuando mil combaten contra él, el paso arduo se vuelve pavoroso: lo tiñe de terror, ṛñjan, y vuelve el camino hacia la victoria.
