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 ||
Dan seperti Langit yang menggelegar, terjangan mendadaknya membuat para penyerang gentar. Ketika seribu melawannya, jalan yang sukar dilalui menjadi mengerikan—ia mewarnainya dengan gentar, dan membelokkan jalan menuju kemenangan.
