1. spring, well, fountain
   • c. 1500 BCE – 1000 BCE, Ṛgveda 6.36.4:

     स रा॒यस् खाम् उप॑ सृजा गृणा॒नः पु॑रुश्च॒न्द्रस्य॒ त्वम् इ॑न्द्र॒ वस्वः॑ ।
     पति॑र् बभू॒थास॑मो॒ जना॑ना॒म् एको॒ विश्व॑स्य॒ भुव॑नस्य॒ राजा॑ ॥

     sá rāyás khā́m úpa sṛjā gṛṇānáḥ puruścandrásya tvám indra vásvaḥ.
     pátir babhūthā́samo jánānām éko víśvasya bhúvanasya rā́jā.

     Lauded by us, let flow the spring, O Indra, of excellent and brightly-shining riches.
     For thou art Lord of men, without an equal: of all the world thou art the only sovereign.
