Rig Veda 1.131.2: Mandala 1, Sukta 131, Mantra 2
Sukta 1.131
विश्वेषु हि त्वा सवनेषु तुञ्जते समानमेकं वृषमण्यवः पृथक्स्वः सनिष्यवः पृथक् । तं त्वा नावं न पर्षणिं शूषस्य धुरि धीमहि । इन्द्रं न यज्ञैश्चितयन्त आयवः स्तोमेभिरिन्द्रमायवः ॥
víśveṣu hí tvā sávaneṣu tuñjáte samānám ékaṃ vṛ́ṣa-manyavaḥ pṛthák svàr saniṣyávaḥ pṛthák | táṃ tvā nā́vaṃ ná párṣaṇiṃ śū́ṣasya dhurí dhīmahi | índraṃ ná yajñáir citáyanta ā́yavaḥ stómebhir índram ā́yavaḥ ||
In all the pressings they urge thee on—one and the same Indra—yet the strong-willed seek thee each in his own way, each for his own heaven. Thee we set as a boat, as a ferry, upon the yoke of the onrush. The seekers kindle Indra with sacrifices; with hymns they awaken Indra.
