दाद्र्हाणो वज्रमिन्द्रो गभस्त्योः कषद्मेव तिग्ममसनायसं शयदहिहत्याय सं शयत | संविव्यान ओजसा शवोभिरिन्द्र मज्मना | तष्टेव वर्क्षं वनिनो नि वर्श्चसि परश्वेव नि वर्श्चसि
IAST Romanisation
dādṛhāṇo vajramindro ghabhastyoḥ kṣadmeva tighmamasanāyasaṃ śyadahihatyāya saṃ śyat | saṃvivyāna ojasā śavobhirindra majmanā | taṣṭeva vṛkṣaṃ vanino ni vṛścasi paraśveva ni vṛścasi
English Translation (Griffith)
Grasping his thunderbolt with both hands, Indra made its edge most keen, for hurling, like a carving-knife for Ahi's slaughter made it keen. Endued with majesty and strength, O Indra, and with lordly might, Thou crashest down the trees, as when a craftsman fells, crashest them down as with an axe.
