Rig Veda 2.18

prātā ratho navo yoji sasniś caturyugas trikaśaḥ saptaraśmiḥ daśāritro manuṣyaḥ svarṣāḥ sa iṣṭibhir matibhī raṃhyo bhūt

The rich new car hath been equipped at morning; four yokes it hath, three whips, seven reins to guide it: Ten-sided, friendly to mankind, light-winner, that must be urged to speed with prayers and wishes.

sāsmā aram prathamaṃ sa dvitīyam uto tṛtīyam manuṣaḥ sa hotā anyasyā garbham anya ū jananta so anyebhiḥ sacate jenyo vṛṣā

This is prepared for him the first, the second, and the third time: he is man's Priest and Herald. Others get offspring of another parent he goeth, as a noble Bull, with others.

harī nu kaṃ ratha indrasya yojam āyai sūktena vacasā navena mo ṣu tvām atra bahavo hi viprā ni rīraman yajamānāso anye

To Indra's car the Bay Steeds have I harnessed, that new well-spoken words may bring him hither. Here let not other worshippers detain thee, for among us are many holy singers.

ā dvābhyāṃ haribhyām indra yāhy ā caturbhir ā ṣaḍbhir hūyamānaḥ āṣṭābhir daśabhiḥ somapeyam ayaṃ sutaḥ sumakha mā mṛdhas kaḥ

Indra, come hitherward with two Bay Coursers, come thou with four, with six when invocated. Come thou with eight, with ten, to drink the Soma. Here is the juice, brave Warrior: do not scorn it.

ā viṃśatyā triṃśatā yāhy arvāṅ ā catvāriṃśatā haribhir yujānaḥ ā pañcāśatā surathebhir indrā ṣaṣṭyā saptatyā somapeyam

O Indra, come thou hither having harnessed thy car with twenty, thirty, forty horses. Come thou with fifty well trained coursers, Indra, sixty or seventy, to drink the Soma.

āśītyā navatyā yāhy arvāṅ ā śatena haribhir uhyamānaḥ ayaṃ hi te śunahotreṣu soma indra tvāyā pariṣikto madāya

Come to us hitherward, O Indra, carried by eighty, ninety, or an hundred horses. This Soma juice among the Sunahotras hath been poured out, in love, to glad thee, Indra.

mama brahmendra yāhy acchā viśvā harī dhuri dhiṣvā rathasya purutrā hi vihavyo babhūthāsmiñchūra savane mādayasva

To this my prayer, O Indra, come thou hither: bind to thy car's pole all thy two Bay Coursers. Thou art to be invoked in many places Hero, rejoice thyself in this libation.

na ma indreṇa sakhyaṃ vi yoṣad asmabhyam asya dakṣiṇā duhīta upa jyeṣṭhe varūthe gabhastau prāye prāye jigīvāṃsaḥ syāma

Ne'er be my love from Indra disunited still may his liberal Milch-cow yield us treasure. So may we under his supreme protection, safe in his arms, succeed in each forth-going.

nūnaṃ sā te prati varaṃ jaritre duhīyad indra dakṣiṇā maghonī śikṣā stotṛbhyo māti dhag bhago no bṛhad vadema vidathe suvīrāḥ

Now may that wealthy Cow Of thine, O Indra, give in return a boon to him who lauds thee. Give to thy praisers: let not fortune fail us. Loud may we speak, with heroes, in assembly.
