Rig Veda 5.83.2
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
वि वर्क्षान हन्त्य उत हन्ति रक्षसो विश्वम बिभाय भुवनम महावधात | उतानागा ईषते वर्ष्ण्यावतो यत पर्जन्य सतनयन हन्ति दुष्क्र्तः
IAST Romanisation
vi vṛkṣān hanty uta hanti rakṣaso viśvam bibhāya bhuvanam mahāvadhāt | utānāghā īṣate vṛṣṇyāvato yat parjanya stanayan hanti duṣkṛtaḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
He smites the trees apart, he slays the demons: all life fears him who wields the mighty weapon. From him exceeding strong fices e’en the guiltless, when thundering Parjanya smites the wicked.
