Rig Veda 6.20.9: Mandala 6, Sukta 20, Mantra 9
Sukta 6.20
स ईं स्पृधो वनते अप्रतीतो बिभ्रद्वज्रं वृत्रहणं गभस्तौ । तिष्ठद्धरी अध्यस्तेव गर्ते वचोयुजा वहत इन्द्रमृष्वम् ॥
sá īṃ spṛ́dho vanate ápratīto bíbhrad vájraṃ vṛtrá-haṇaṃ gábhastau | tíṣṭhadd hárī ádhy astéva gárte vaco-yújā vahata índram ṛ́ṣvam ||
He conquers the challengers, irresistible, bearing in his grasp the thunderbolt that slays the Coverer. His two tawny powers stand poised like two steeds at the yoke-station; yoked by the Word, they carry Indra, the high and uplifted force.
