Rig Veda 5.30.9: Mandala 5, Sukta 30, Mantra 9
Sukta 5.30
स्त्रियो हि दास आयुधानि चक्रे किं मा करन्नबला अस्य सेनाः । अन्तर्ह्यख्यदुभे अस्य धेने अथोप प्रैद्युधये दस्युमिन्द्रः ॥
stríyo hí dā́sá ā́yudhāni cakré kím mā karann abalā́ asya sénāḥ | antár hy ákhya̍d ubhé asya dhéne áthópa práid yudhā́ye dásyum índraḥ ||
Car le Dāsa, comme si, a fait des femmes (striyaḥ) des armes ; que pouvait contre moi son armée, dépourvue de vraie force ? Au-dedans apparurent ses deux vaches laitières — alors Indra s’avança pour combattre le Dasyu.
