Sanskrit (Devanagari)

IAST Romanisation
abhi svavṛṣṭiṃ made asya yudhyato raghvīriva pravaṇe sasrurūtayaḥ | indro yad vajrī dhṛṣamāṇo andhasā bhinad valasya paridhīnriva tritaḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
To him, as in wild joy he fought with him who stayed the rain, his helpers sped like swift streams down a slope, When Indra, thunder-armed, made bold by Soma draughts, as Tṛta cleaveth Vala's fences, cleft him through.
