Rig Veda 4.38.9: Mandala 4, Sukta 38, Mantra 9
Sukta 4.38
उत स्मास्य पनयन्ति जना जूतिं कृष्टिप्रो अभिभूतिमाशोः । उतैनमाहुः समिथे वियन्तः परा दधिक्रा असरत्सहस्रैः ॥
utá smā́sya panayanti jánā jūtíṃ kṛṣṭipró abhíbhūtim āśóḥ | utáinaṃ āhuḥ samíthe víyantaḥ parā́ dadhikrā́ ásarat sahásraiḥ ||
Et les hommes célèbrent son élan—la victoire irrésistible du rapide, qui fait avancer les communautés. Et l’on dit de lui, quand il se meut dans la mêlée: «Dadhikrā a filé en avant par milliers.»
