Rig Veda 1.85.8
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
शूरा इवेद युयुधयो न जग्मयः शरवस्यवो न पर्तनासु येतिरे | भयन्ते विश्वा भुवना मरुद्भ्यो राजान इव तवेषसन्द्र्शो नरः
IAST Romanisation
śūrā ived yuyudhayo na jaghmayaḥ śravasyavo na pṛtanāsu yetire | bhayante viśvā bhuvanā marudbhyo rājāna iva tveṣasandṛśo naraḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
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.
