Rig Veda 1.80.4: Mandala 1, Sukta 80, Mantra 4
Sukta 1.80
निरिन्द्र भूम्या अधि वृत्रं जघन्थ निर्दिवः । सृजा मरुत्वतीरव जीवधन्या इमा अपोऽर्चन्ननु स्वराज्यम् ॥
nír indra bhū́myā ádhi vṛtráṃ jaghantha nír diváḥ | sṛjá marútvatīr áva jīvá-dhanyā imā́ apó ’rcann ánu sva-rā́jyam ||
O Indra, thou didst smite Vṛtra down and cast him out from the foundation of the earth and from the heights of heaven. Release, downward into our being, these waters that are filled with the Maruts’ force—waters rich in the wealth of life; so may they shine in us following thy sovereign mastery.
