1.130.4

dā̱dṛ̱hā̱ṇo vajra̱m indro̱ gabha̍styo̱ḥ kṣadme̍va ti̱gmam asa̍nāya̱ saṁ śya̍d ahi̱hatyā̍ya̱ saṁ śya̍t |
sa̱ṁvi̱vyā̱na oja̍sā̱ śavo̍bhir indra ma̱jmanā̍ |
taṣṭe̍va vṛ̱kṣaṁ va̱nino̱ ni vṛ̍ścasi para̱śveva̱ ni vṛ̍ścasi ||

Grasping his thunderbolt with both hands, Indra made its edge most keen, for hurling, like a carving-knife for Ahi's slaughter made it keen. Endued with majesty and strength, O Indra, and with lordly might, Thou crashest down the trees, as when a craftsman fells, crashest them down as with an axe.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
