ता वज्रिणं मन्दिनं स्तोम्यं मद इन्द्रं रथे वहतो हर्यता हरी । पुरूण्य् अस्मै सवनानि हर्यत इन्द्राय सोमा हरयो दधन्विरे

tā vajriṇaṃ mandinaṃ stomyaṃ mada indraṃ rathe vahato haryatā harī | purūṇy asmai savanāni haryata indrāya somā harayo dadhanvire

Those two delightful bay horses carry him on the chariot in exhilaration — the wielder of the vajra, the gladdening one, the one worthy of praise, Indra; many pressings are delighted in for him, for Indra the tawny soma-drops have run.

AV 20 31.5

उत स्म सद्न हर्यतस्य पस्त्योर् अत्यो न वाजं हरिवाꣳ अचिक्रदत् । मही चिद् धि धिषणाहर्यद् ओजसा बृहद् वयो दधिषे हर्यतस् चिद् आ

uta sma sadna haryatasya pastyor atyo na vājaṃ harivāṁ acikradat | mahī cid dhi dhiṣaṇāharyad ojasā bṛhad vayo dadhiṣe haryatas cid ā

And at the seat of the longed-for one in the dwellings, the lord of bays has neighed like a steed (running) for the prize; for even the great Dhiṣaṇā longed for (him) with (her) might — you, the longed-for one, have taken on lofty vigour.
