1.55.1

di̱vaś ci̍d asya vari̱mā vi pa̍pratha̱ indra̱ṁ na ma̱hnā pṛ̍thi̱vī ca̱na prati̍ |
bhī̱mas tuvi̍ṣmāñ carṣa̱ṇibhya̍ āta̱paḥ śiśī̍te̱ vajra̱ṁ teja̍se̱ na vaṁsa̍gaḥ ||

THOUGH e'en this heaven's wide space and earth have spread them out, nor heaven nor earth may be in greatness Indra's match. Awful and very mighty, causing woe to men, he whets his thunderbolt for sharpness, as a bull.

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