Rig Veda 5.15.3: Mandala 5, Sukta 15, Mantra 3
Sukta 5.15
अङ्होयुवस्तन्वस्तन्वते वि वयो महद्दुष्टरं पूर्व्याय । स संवतो नवजातस्तुतुर्यात्सिङ्हं न क्रुद्धमभितः परि ष्ठुः ॥
aṅhoyúvas tanvàs tanvate ví váyo mahat dúṣṭaraṃ pū́rvyāya | sá saṃvató náva-jātas tuturyāt siṃháṃ ná kruddhám abhítaḥ párī sthuḥ ||
The young slayer of anguish extends his body; he spreads a vast strength, hard to cross, for the ancient work. Newly born through the cycles, he drives forward—like a lion in wrath, around whom the adversaries stand at a distance.
