Rig Veda
kuvid aṅga namasā ye vṛdhāsaḥ purā devā anavadyāsa āsan te vāyave manave bādhitāyāvāsayann uṣasaṃ sūryeṇa
Were not in sooth, the Gods aforetime blameless, whose pleasure was increased by adoration? For Vayu and for man in his affliction they caused the Morning to arise with Surya.
uśantā dūtā na dabhāya gopā māsaś ca pāthaḥ śaradaś ca pūrvīḥ indravāyū suṣṭutir vām iyānā mārḍīkam īṭṭe suvitaṃ ca navyam
Guardians infallible, eager as envoys' preserve us safe through many months and autumns. Addressed to you, our fair praise, Indra-Vayu, implores your favour and renewed well-being.
pīvoannāṁ rayivṛdhaḥ sumedhāḥ śvetaḥ siṣakti niyutām abhiśrīḥ te vāyave samanaso vi tasthur viśven naraḥ svapatyāni cakruḥ
Wise, bright, arranger of his teams, he. seeketh men with rich food whose treasures are abundant. They have arranged them of one mind with Vayu: the men have wrought all noble operations.
yāvat taras tanvo yāvad ojo yāvan naraś cakṣasā dīdhyānāḥ śuciṃ somaṃ śucipā pātam asme indravāyū sadatam barhir edam
So far as native power and strength permit you, so far as men behold whose eyes have vision, O ye pure-drinkers, drink with us pure Soma: sit on this sacred grass, Indra and Vayu.
niyuvānā niyuta spārhavīrā indravāyū sarathaṃ yātam arvāk idaṃ hi vām prabhṛtam madhvo agram adha prīṇānā vi mumuktam asme
Driving down teams that bear the lovely Heroes, hitherward, Indra-Vayu, come together. To you this prime of savoury juice is offered: here loose your horses and be friendly-minded.
yā vāṃ śataṃ niyuto yāḥ sahasram indravāyū viśvavārāḥ sacante ābhir yātaṃ suvidatrābhir arvāk pātaṃ narā pratibhṛtasya madhvaḥ
Your hundred and your thousand teams, O Indra and Vayu, all-munificent, which attend you, With these most gracious-minded come ye hither, and drink, O Heroes of the meath we offer.

Like coursers seeking fame will we Vasishthas, O Indra-Vayu, with our fair laudations, Exerting all our power, call you to aid us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
