- 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.
