यद् द्याव इन्द्र ते शतं शतं भूमिर् उत स्युः । न त्वा वज्रिन्त् सहस्रं सूर्या अनु न जातम् अष्ट रोदसी

yad dyāva indra te śataṃ śataṃ bhūmir uta syuḥ | na tvā vajrint sahasraṃ sūryā anu na jātam aṣṭa rodasī

If, Indra, there were a hundred heavens for you, and a hundred earths, a thousand suns would not match you, O vajra-bearer, nor both worlds, nor what has been born.
