1.173.6

pra yad i̱tthā ma̍hi̱nā nṛbhyo̱ asty ara̱ṁ roda̍sī ka̱kṣye̱3̱̍ nāsmai̍ |
saṁ vi̍vya̱ indro̍ vṛ̱jana̱ṁ na bhūmā̱ bharti̍ sva̱dhāvā̍m̐ opa̱śam i̍va̱ dyām ||

Him who surpasses heroes in his greatness: the earth and heavens suffice not for his girdles. Indra endues the earth to be his garment, and, God-like, wears the heaven as 'twere a frontlet,
