1. urine

   • c. 1200 BCE – 1000 BCE, Atharvaveda 1.3.9:

     यथे॑षु॒का प॒राप॑त॒दव॑सृ॒ष्टाधि॒ धन्व॑नः।
     ए॒वा ते॒ मूत्रं॑ मुच्यतां बहि॒र्बालिति॑ सर्व॒कम्॥

     evā́ te mū́traṃ mucyatāṃ bahirbā́líti sarvakám.

     Just as the arrow flies away when loosened from the archer's bow,
     Thus let the urine be discharged from channels that are blocked no more.
