Sukta 10.67
इन्द्रो वलं रक्षितारं दुघानां करेणेव वि चकर्ता रवेण । स्वेदाञ्जिभिराशिरमिच्छमानोऽरोदयत्पणिमा गा अमुष्णात् ॥
índro valáṃ rakṣitā́raṃ dúghānāṃ karéṇeva ví cakartā ráveṇa | svédāñjibhir ā́śiram icchámāno ’ródayat paṇím ā́ gā́ amuṣṇāt ||
Indra, with a roar, tore apart Vala, the guardian of the yielding riches, as an elephant with its trunk. Seeking the nourishing essence with his sweating energies, he made the Paṇi weep and carried off the Rays.
