1.32.5

aha̍n vṛ̱traṁ vṛ̍tra̱tara̱ṁ vya̍ṁsa̱m indro̱ vajre̍ṇa maha̱tā va̱dhena̍ |
skandhā̍ṁsīva̱ kuli̍śenā̱ vivṛ̱kṇāhi̍ḥ śayata upa̱pṛk pṛ̍thi̱vyāḥ ||

Indra with his own great and deadly thunder smote into pieces Vṛitra, worst of Vṛitras. As trunks of trees, what time the axe hath felled them, low on the earth so lies the prostrate Dragon.

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