Rig Veda 1.56.3: Mandala 1, Sukta 56, Mantra 3
Sukta 1.56
स तुर्वणिर्महाँ अरेणु पौंस्ये गिरेर्भृष्टिर्न भ्राजते तुजा शवः । येन शुष्णं मायिनमायसो मदे दुध्र आभूषु रामयन्नि दामनि ॥
sá turváṇir mahā́ṃ aréṇu paúṃsye girér bhṛṣṭír ná bhrājate tujā́ śávaḥ | yénā śúṣṇaṃ māyínam āyásō máde dudhrá ābhū́ṣu rā́mayann ní dā́mani ||
Dia, sang pelaju tak terbendung, agung dan tanpa debu dalam keperkasaan jantan; berkilau laksana kilat-pukulan gunung—itulah daya pendorongnya. Dengan kuasa itu, dalam ekstasi kehendak besi (tak luluh), ia menekan Śuṣṇa sang penyihir; menundukkannya di tengah gempuran, mengikatnya dalam belenggunya.
