Sukta 7.23

आपश्चित्पिप्युः स्तर्यो न गावो नक्षन्नृतं जरितारस्त इन्द्र । याहि वायुर्न नियुतो नो अच्छा त्वं हि धीभिर्दयसे वि वाजान् ॥

ā́paś cit pipyuḥ staryò na gā́vo nákṣann ṛtáṃ jaritā́ras ta indra | yā́hi vāyúr na niyúto no ácchā tváṃ hí dhībhír dáyase ví vājā́n ||

Even the waters have swelled, like lowing cows, reaching the Truth; so have thy praisers, O Indra, arrived at the right law. Come to us like Vāyu with his yoked powers; for by the illumined thoughts thou distributest the plenitudes of force.
