Rig Veda 4.17.1: Mandala 4, Sukta 17, Mantra 1
Sukta 4.17
त्वं महाँ इन्द्र तुभ्यं ह क्षा अनु क्षत्रं मंहना मन्यत द्यौः । त्वं वृत्रं शवसा जघन्वान्त्सृजः सिन्धूँरहिना जग्रसानान् ॥
tváṃ mahā́ṃ indra túbhyaṃ ha kṣā́ ánu kṣatráṃ maṃhánā manyata dyáuḥ | tváṃ vṛtráṃ śávasā jaghánvān tsṛjáḥ síndhūn áhinā jagrasānā́n ||
You are the Great One, O Indra; for you the earth and the heaven acknowledge the sovereignty by your overflowing force. You slew Vṛtra by might and released the rivers that the Serpent had swallowed—setting free the currents of truth from the clutch of obstruction.
