Atharva Veda 20.92.20: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 10, Sukta 92, Mantra 20
Sukta 92
यद् द्याव॑ इन्द्र ते श॒तं श॒तं भूमी॑रु॒त स्युः । न त्वा॑ वज्रिन्त्स॒हस्रं॒ सूर्या॒ अनु॒ न जा॒तम॑ष्ट॒ रोद॑सी
yád dyā́va índra te śatáṁ śatáṁ bhū́mīr utá syúḥ | ná tvā́ vajrin sahásraṁ sū́ryā ánu ná jātám aṣṭá ródasī
Though, Indra, for thee there were a hundred heavens and a hundred earths besides, yet, O Vajrin, not a thousand Suns, nor aught that is born, following on, attain unto thee—(no, not) within the eightfold compass of the Two Worlds.
अगर इंद्र के लिए सौ आसमान हों, सौ ज़मीन हों, तब भी। हज़ार सूरज भी उस तक नहीं पहुँच सकते। जो भी पैदा हुआ है, कोई भी उसके बराबर नहीं है। सारी दुनिया में कोई उससे बड़ा नहीं।
