Rig Veda 1.80.3: Mandala 1, Sukta 80, Mantra 3
Sukta 1.80
प्रेह्यभीहि धृष्णुहि न ते वज्रो नि यंसते । इन्द्र नृम्णं हि ते शवो हनो वृत्रं जया अपोऽर्चन्ननु स्वराज्यम् ॥
préhy abhī́hi dhṛ́ṣṇuhi ná te vájro ní yaṃsate | índra nṛ́mṇaṃ hí te śávo hánō vṛtráṃ jáyā apó’rcan ánu sva-rā́jyam ||
Go forth, advance, press on with daring; thy thunderbolt is not held back. O Indra, thine is the man-strength and the might: smite Vṛtra, win the waters, chanting onward into self-sovereignty.
