RV 1 165.1

kayā śubhā savayasaḥ sanīḻāḥ samānyā marutaḥ sam mimikṣuḥ | kayā matī kuta etāsa ete 'rcanti śuṣmaṁ vṛṣaṇo vasūyā

With what adornment have the Maruts, of the same age, sharing one nest, joined themselves in common? With what thought, from where have they come? These bulls sing out their fury out of desire for goods.

From where, Indra, being so mighty, do you travel alone, O lord of the true? What is this (purpose) of yours? You confer (with us) as you meet (us) in your splendour. Tell us, lord of the bay steeds, what (intent) of yours is toward us.
