Rig Veda 2.16.3: Mandala 2, Sukta 16, Mantra 3
Sukta 2.16
न क्षोणीभ्यां परिभ्वे त इन्द्रियं न समुद्रैः पर्वतैरिन्द्र ते रथः । न ते वज्रमन्वश्नोति कश्चन यदाशुभिः पतसि योजना पुरु ॥
ná kṣoṇī́bhyāṃ paribhvé ta indríyaṃ ná samudráiḥ párvatair indra te ráthaḥ | ná te vájram ánv aśnoti káś caná yad āśúbhiḥ pátasi yójanā purú ||
Ni les deux mondes ne peuvent contenir ta puissance, ô Indra, ni mers ni montagnes ne retiennent ton char. Nul ne rattrape ton vajra lorsque, avec tes rapides, tu voles à travers de nombreux yojanas.
