1.40.8

upa̍ kṣa̱tram pṛ̍ñcī̱ta hanti̱ rāja̍bhir bha̱ye ci̍t sukṣi̱tiṁ da̍dhe |
nāsya̍ va̱rtā na ta̍ru̱tā ma̍hādha̱ne nārbhe̍ asti va̱jriṇa̍ḥ ||

He amplifies his lordly might, with kings he slays: e'en mid alarms he dwells secure In great or lesser fight none checks him, none subdues,– the wielder of the thunderbolt.

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