Rig Veda 10.111.6: Mandala 10, Sukta 111, Mantra 6
Sukta 10.111
वज्रेण हि वृत्रहा वृत्रमस्तरदेवस्य शूशुवानस्य मायाः । वि धृष्णो अत्र धृषता जघन्थाथाभवो मघवन्बाह्वोजाः ॥
vájreṇa hí vṛtrahā́ vṛtrám ástar ádevasya śū́śuvānasya māyā́ḥ | ví dhṛ́ṣṇo átra dhṛṣatá jaghanthā́thā́bhavo maghavan bā́hvojāḥ ||
For with the thunderbolt, O slayer of the Coverer, you did strike the Coverer; you scattered the deceits of the godless one who swelled in self-will. Here, daring, you slew him by a more daring force; then you became, O giver of plenitude, mighty in the power of your arms.
