1.32.7

a̱pād a̍ha̱sto a̍pṛtanya̱d indra̱m āsya̱ vajra̱m adhi̱ sānau̍ jaghāna |
vṛṣṇo̱ vadhri̍ḥ prati̱māna̱m bubhū̍ṣan puru̱trā vṛ̱tro a̍śaya̱d vya̍staḥ ||

Footless and handless still he challenged Indra, who smote him with his bolt between the shoulders. Emasculate yet claiming manly vigour, thus Vṛitra lay with scattered limbs dissevered.

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