Rig Veda 5.83.3

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

रथीव कशयाश्वां अभिक्षिपन्न आविर दूतान कर्णुते वर्ष्य्रं अह | दूरात सिंहस्य सतनथा उद ईरते यत पर्जन्यः कर्णुते वर्ष्यं नभः

IAST Romanisation

rathīva kaśayāśvāṃ abhikṣipann āvir dūtān kṛṇute varṣyṛṃ aha | dūrāt siṃhasya stanathā ud īrate yat parjanyaḥ kṛṇute varṣyaṃ nabhaḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Like a car-driver whipping on his horses, he makes the messengers of rain spring forward. Far off resounds the roaring of the lion, what time Parjanya fills the sky with rain-cloud.
