दिवश् चिद् अस्य वरिमा वि पप्रथ इन्द्रꣳ न मह्ना पृथिवी चन प्रति । भीमस् तुविष्माञ् चर्षणिभ्य आतपः शिशीते वज्रꣳ तेजसे न वꣳसगः

His breadth has spread out even beyond heaven; neither does the earth match Indra in greatness. Terrible, full of force, scorching for the peoples, he whets his mace for sharpness as a bull (his horn).

RV 1 55.4

स इद् वने नमस्युभिर् वचस्यते चारु जनेषु प्रब्रुवाण इन्द्रियम् । वृषा छन्दुर् भवति हर्यतो वृषा क्षेमेण धेनाम् मघवा यद् इन्वति

It is he who by his bulk makes great encounters for the peoples, the fighter, by his strength. And so they put their trust in the impetuous Indra, in the mace, in the weapon that smites down again and again.

Let your mind be set on giving, O soma-drinker; bring your two bays this way, hearer of praise. Your charioteers, Indra, who are the best at reining — the hurrying intentions do not deceive you.

Undiminished wealth you carry in your two hands; unconquerable might you, the renowned, hold in your body. Covered over, like wells (covered) by those who dug them, are your many powers in your bodies, Indra.
