Rig Veda 1.175.6: Mandala 1, Sukta 175, Mantra 6
Sukta 1.175
यथा पूर्वेभ्यो जरितृभ्य इन्द्र मय इवापो न तृष्यते बभूथ । तामनु त्वा निविदं जोहवीमि विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥
yáthā pū́rvebhyo jaritṛ́bhya indra máya iva ā́po ná tṛ́ṣyate babhū́tha | tā́m ánu tvā ni-vídaṃ johavīmi vidyā́meṣáṃ vṛ́janaṃ jīrá-dānum ||
As thou wast to the former singers, O Indra—like refreshing waters that do not fail the thirst—so I call thee with this sacred formulation. May we know and obtain the impulsion and the victorious field, and thee, the giver who is swift in bestowal.
