Rig Veda 7.19.2: Mandala 7, Sukta 19, Mantra 2
Sukta 7.19
त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्र कुत्समावः शुश्रूषमाणस्तन्वा समर्ये । दासं यच्छुष्णं कुयवं न्यस्मा अरन्धय आर्जुनेयाय शिक्षन् ॥
tváṃ ha tyád indra kútsam āvā́ḥ śuśrū́ṣamāṇas tanvā̀ samaryé | dā́sáṃ yác chuṣṇáṃ kúyavaṃ ny àsmai árandhaya ārjuneyā́ya śíkṣan ||
You indeed, O Indra, did protect Kutsā when he served you with his whole being in the battle. When you brought down the Dāsa—Śuṣṇa the deceiver—subduing him for this one, you were teaching the Arjuneya the right skill of victory.
