Rig Veda 2.16.3
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
न कषोणीभ्यां परिभ्वे त इन्द्रियं न समुद्रैः पर्वतैरिन्द्र ते रथः | न ते वज्रमन्वश्नोति कश्चन यदाशुभिः पतसि योजना पुरु
IAST Romanisation
na kṣoṇībhyāṃ paribhve ta indriyaṃ na samudraiḥ parvatairindra te rathaḥ | na te vajramanvaśnoti kaścana yadāśubhiḥ patasi yojanā puru
English Translation (Griffith)
Not by both worlds is thine own power to be surpassed, nor may thy car be stayed by mountains or by seas. None cometh near, O Indra, to thy thunderbolt, when with swift steeds thou fliest over many a league.
