2.22.4

tava̱ tyan narya̍ṁ nṛ̱to 'pa̍ indra pratha̱mam pū̱rvyaṁ di̱vi pra̱vācya̍ṁ kṛ̱tam |
yad de̱vasya̱ śava̍sā̱ prāri̍ṇā̱ asu̍ṁ ri̱ṇann a̱paḥ |
bhuva̱d viśva̍m a̱bhy āde̍va̱m oja̍sā vi̱dād ūrja̍ṁ śa̱takra̍tur vi̱dād iṣa̍m ||

This, Indra, was thy hero deed, Dancer, thy first and ancient work, worthy to be told forth in heaven, What time thou sentest down life with a God's own power, freeing the floods. All that is godless may he conquer with his might, and, Lord of Hundred Powers, find for us strength and food.

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