Rig Veda 7.18.4: Mandala 7, Sukta 18, Mantra 4
Sukta 7.18
धेनुं न त्वा सूयवसे दुदुक्षन्नुप ब्रह्माणि ससृजे वसिष्ठः । त्वामिन्मे गोपतिं विश्व आहा न इन्द्रः सुमतिं गन्त्वच्छ ॥
dhenuṃ na tvā sūyavase dudhukṣann upa brahmāṇi sasṛje vasiṣṭhaḥ | tvām in me gopatiṃ viśva āhā na indraḥ sumatiṃ gantu accha ||
As one milks a cow for rich pasture, so Vasiṣṭha has pressed out and set forth the mantras towards you. All proclaim you as the lord of the rays (cows of light); may Indra come to us with the grace of right understanding.
