1.85.8

śūrā̍ i̱ved yuyu̍dhayo̱ na jagma̍yaḥ śrava̱syavo̱ na pṛta̍nāsu yetire |
bhaya̍nte̱ viśvā̱ bhuva̍nā ma̱rudbhyo̱ rājā̍na iva tve̱ṣasa̍ṁdṛśo̱ nara̍ḥ ||

In sooth like heroes fain for fight they rush about, like combatants fame-seeking have they striven in war. Before the Maruts every creature is afraid: the men are like to Kings, terrible to behold.

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