Rig Veda 4.17.12: Mandala 4, Sukta 17, Mantra 12
Sukta 4.17
कियत्स्विदिन्द्रो अध्येति मातुः कियत्पितुर्जनितुर्यो जजान । यो अस्य शुष्मं मुहुकैरियर्ति वातो न जूतः स्तनयद्भिरभ्रैः ॥
kíyat svíd índro ádhyeti mātúḥ kíyat pitúr janitúr yó jajā́na | yó asya śúṣmaṃ muhukáir íyarti vā́to ná jūtáḥ stanáyadbhir abhráiḥ ||
Sejauh mana sesungguhnya Indra melampaui ibunya, sejauh mana ayahnya, sang pengada, yang melahirkannya? Dia yang menggerakkan daya-ganasnya berulang-ulang, bagaikan angin yang melesat, bersama awan-awan yang menggelegar.
