Rig Veda 9.73.5: Mandala 9, Sukta 73, Mantra 5
Sukta 9.73
पितुर्मातुरध्या ये समस्वरन्नृचा शोचन्तः संदहन्तो अव्रतान् । इन्द्रद्विष्टामप धमन्ति मायया त्वचमसिक्नीं भूमनो दिवस्परि ॥
pitúrmā́tur adhyā́ yé sám asvarann ṛcā́ śócantaḥ saṃdáhanto avratā́n | índradviṣṭām ápa dhamanti māyáyā tvájam ásiknīṃ bhū́mano divás pári ||
From the father and the mother they rise into one accord through the hymn; burning they consume the lawless movements. By the power of shaping vision they blow away the dark skin that is hated by Indra, from the wide expanse around heaven.
