Sukta 1.61
अस्मा इदु त्वष्टा तक्षद्वज्रं स्वपस्तमं स्वर्यं रणाय । वृत्रस्य चिद्विदद्येन मर्म तुजन्नीशानस्तुजता कियेधाः ॥
asmā́ íd u tváṣṭā takṣád vájraṃ svápastamaṃ svaryáṃ raṇā́ya | vṛtrásya cid vidád yéna márma tújan nīśā́nas tujatā́ kiyedhā́ḥ ||
For him indeed Tvaṣṭṛ fashioned the thunderbolt—most perfect in work, luminous for the battle. With it he found even Vṛtra’s vital point and, pressing on as the sovereign, he smote the smiters and shattered the obstructing powers.
