Rig Veda 4.18.7: Mandala 4, Sukta 18, Mantra 7
Sukta 4.18
किमु ष्विदस्मै निविदो भनन्तेन्द्रस्यावद्यं दिधिषन्त आपः । ममैतान्पुत्रो महता वधेन वृत्रं जघन्वाँ असृजद्वि सिन्धून् ॥
kím u ṣv id asmai nivído bhananténdrasyāvádyam didhiṣanta ā́paḥ | mamā́itān putró mahatā́ vadhéna vṛtráṃ jaghanvā́m̐ asṛ́jad ví síndhūn ||
Mengapa sesungguhnya seruan-seruan itu bergema baginya—adakah Para Perairan hendak menimpakan cela kepada Indra? Puteraku, dengan senjata yang dahsyat, telah menewaskan Vṛtra dan melepaskan sungai-sungai mengalir dengan luas.
