Rig Veda 5.30.9: Mandala 5, Sukta 30, Mantra 9
Sukta 5.30
स्त्रियो हि दास आयुधानि चक्रे किं मा करन्नबला अस्य सेनाः । अन्तर्ह्यख्यदुभे अस्य धेने अथोप प्रैद्युधये दस्युमिन्द्रः ॥
stríyo hí dā́sá ā́yudhāni cakré kím mā karann abalā́ asya sénāḥ | antár hy ákhya̍d ubhé asya dhéne áthópa práid yudhā́ye dásyum índraḥ ||
For it is as if the Dāsa makes weapons out of the powers that should serve the soul; what could his host do to me, being without true strength? Within, the two streams of his milch-cows were seen—then Indra moved forward to battle the Dasyu.
