RV 4 24.1

का सुष्टुतिः शवसः सूनुम् इन्द्रम् अर्वाचीनꣳ राधस आ ववर्तत् । ददिर् हि वीरो गृणते वसूनि स गोपतिर् निष्षिधाꣳ नो जनासः

kā suṣṭutiḥ śavasaḥ sūnum indram arvācīnaṁ rādhasa ā vavartat | dadir hi vīro gṛṇate vasūni sa gopatir niṣṣidhāṁ no janāsaḥ

What good praise will turn Indra, son of strength, hither toward bounty? For the hero is a giver of goods to the singer; he is the lord of the cows, of the gifts due to us, O people.

तम् इन् नरो वि ह्वयन्ते समीके रिरिक्वाꣳसस् तन्वः कृण्वत त्राम् । मिथो यत् त्यागम् उभयासो अग्मन् नरस् तोकस्य तनयस्य सातौ

आद् इद् ध नेम इन्द्रियꣳ यजन्त आद् इत् पक्तिः पुरोऴाशꣳ रिरिच्यात् । आद् इत् सोमो वि पपृच्याद् असुष्वीन् आद् इज् जुजोष वृषभꣳ यजध्यै

ād id dha nema indriyaṁ yajanta ād it paktiḥ puroḻāśaṁ riricyāt | ād it somo vi papṛcyād asuṣvīn ād ij jujoṣa vṛṣabhaṁ yajadhyai

Then indeed some worship the power of Indra; then the cooked offering, the puroḍāśa, would be set apart (for him); then soma would be mixed, (passing by) those who do not press; then one has taken pleasure in sacrificing to the bull.
