Rig Veda 2.22.4: Mandala 2, Sukta 22, Mantra 4
Sukta 2.22
तव त्यन्नर्यं नृतोऽप इन्द्र प्रथमं पूर्व्यं दिवि प्रवाच्यं कृतम् । यद्देवस्य शवसा प्रारिणा असुं रिणन्नपः । भुवद्विश्वमभ्यादेवमोजसा विदादूर्जं शतक्रतुर्विदादिषम् ॥
táva tyán nár yaṃ nṛtó ’pa índra prathamáṃ pū́rvyaṃ diví prá-vācyaṃ kṛtám | yád devásya śávasā prá ariṇā ásuṃ riṇánn ápaḥ | bhúvad víśvam abhý ā́devam ójasā vidā́d ūrjáṃ śatákratur vidā́d íṣam ||
À toi cette action virile, ô Indra, première et très ancienne, à proclamer dans le ciel: lorsque, par la puissance du dieu, tu libéras le souffle de vie en brisant les eaux. Alors tout ce qui n’était pas divin devint divin par ta force; ô Śatakratu, aux cent résolutions, tu trouvas la nourriture et tu trouvas l’élan.
