   • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 1.168.8:

     प्रति॑ ष्टोभन्ति॒ सिन्ध॑वः प॒विभ्यो॒ यद॒भ्रियां॒ वाच॑मुदी॒रय॑न्ति ।
     अव॑ स्मयन्त वि॒द्युतः॑ पृथि॒व्यां यदी॑ घृ॒तं म॒रुतः॑ प्रुष्णु॒वन्ति॑ ॥

     práti ṣṭobhanti síndhavaḥ pavíbhyo yádabhríyāṃ vā́camudīráyanti .
     áva smayanta vidyútaḥ pṛthivyā́ṃ yádī ghṛtáṃ marútaḥ pruṣṇuvánti .

     From the tires of their chariot-wheels streams gush forth, when they send out the voice of the clouds;
     the lightnings smiled upon the earth, when the Maruts shower ghee.
