   • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 6.33.1:

     य ओजिष्ठ इन्द्र तं सु नो दा मदो वृषन्स्वभिष्टिर्दास्वान् ।
     सौवश्व्यं यो वनवत्स्वश्वो वृत्रा समत्सु सासहदमित्रान् ॥

     ya ojiṣṭha indra taṃ su no dā mado vṛṣansvabhiṣṭirdāsvān .
     sauvaśvyaṃ yo vanavatsvaśvo vṛtrā samatsu sāsahadamitrān .

     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.
