Atharva Veda 20.12.4: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 12, Mantra 4
Sukta 12
आप॑श्चित् पिप्यु स्त॒र्यो॒३ न गावो॒ नक्ष॑न्नृ॒तं ज॑रि॒तार॑स्त इन्द्र । या॒हि वा॒युर्न नि॒युतो॑ नो॒ अच्छा॒ त्वं हि धी॒भिर्दय॑से॒ वि वाजा॑न्
ā́paś cit pipyu staryò na gā́vo nákṣann ṛtáṃ jaritā́ras ta indra | yā́hi vāyúr na niyúto no ácchā tváṃ hí dhībhír dáyase ví vā́jān
Even the waters have filled, as it were a spreading bed; like cows, thy praisers, O Indra, have attained the ṛta. Come thou to us straightway, like Wind with harnessed teams; for thou, with inspired thoughts, dost distribute the prizes abroad.
Bahkan air pun telah penuh, seolah-olah menjadi hamparan yang terbentang; seperti lembu, para pemujimu, wahai Indra, telah mencapai ṛta. Datanglah kepada kami segera, seperti Vāyu dengan pasukan yang dipasang; kerana engkau, dengan ilham (dhī), mengagihkan hadiah-hadiah (vāja) ke merata tempat.
