    • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 6.33.1:
      ओजि॑ष्ठ इन्द्र॒ तं सु नो॑ दा॒ मदो॑ वृषन्त्स्वभि॒ष्टिर्दास्वा॑न्।
      सौव॑श्व्यं॒ यो व॒नव॒त्स्वश्वो॑ वृ॒त्रा स॒मत्सु॑ सा॒सह॑द॒मित्रा॑न्॥
      ójiṣṭha indra táṃ sú no dā mádo vṛṣantsvabhiṣṭírdā́svān.
      saúvaśvyaṃ yó vanávatsváśvo vṛtrā́ samátsu sāsáhadamítrān.
      Give us the rapture that is mightiest, Indra, prompt to bestow and swift to aid, O Hero,
      That wins with brave steeds where brave steeds encounter, and quells the Vṛtras and the foes in battle.
