Rig Veda 1.32.8 — Mandala 1, Sukta 32, Mantra 8
Sukta 1.32
नदं न भिन्नममुया शयानं मनो रुहाणा अति यन्त्यापः । याश्चिद्वृत्रो महिना पर्यतिष्ठत्तासामहिः पत्सुतःशीर्बभूव ॥
nadáṃ na bhinnám amuyā́ śáyānaṃ máno ruhā́ṇā áti yánty ā́paḥ | yā́ś cid vṛtró mahinā́ paryátiṣṭhat tā́sām áhiḥ patsutáḥśīr babhūva ||
Like a river whose dam is broken, the waters pass beyond him as he lies there; they rise, as it were, in the mind and surge over. Even those waters which Vṛtra with his might had held all around—of them the serpent became a dust-heap at the feet.
