Rig Veda 3.33.7: Mandala 3, Sukta 33, Mantra 7
Sukta 3.33
प्रवाच्यं शश्वधा वीर्यं तदिन्द्रस्य कर्म यदहिं विवृश्चत् । वि वज्रेण परिषदो जघानायन्नापोऽयनमिच्छमानाः ॥
pravā́cyaṃ śaśvadhā́ vī́ryaṃ tád índrasya kárma yád áhiṃ vivṛścát | ví vájreṇa paríṣado jaghānā́yann ā́po áyanam icchámānāḥ ||
Ever to be spoken is that heroic power—Indra’s deed—when he cut apart the Serpent. With the thunderbolt he struck down the enclosing seats of resistance; then the waters came forward, longing for their path, seeking their free course.
