RV 6 20.1

द्यौर् न य इन्द्राभि भूमार्यस् तस्थौ रयिः शवसा पृत्सु जनान् । तꣳ नः सहस्रभरम् उर्वरासाꣳ दद्धि सूनो सहसो वृत्रतुरम्

dyaur na ya indrābhi bhūmāryas tasthau rayiḥ śavasā pṛtsu janān | taṁ naḥ sahasrabharam urvarāsāṁ daddhi sūno sahaso vṛtraturam

As Heaven (stands) over the earth, O Indra, so the Aryan wealth stood over the peoples in battles by its might: grant us that (wealth), which brings thousands, which wins fields, which overcomes Vṛtra, O son of strength.

Yours indeed, Indra, was all that in the contest: Dhuni and Cumuri, the two who slept, whom you lulled to sleep. Dabhīti shone for you, pressing with soma-draughts, bringing the kindling, cooking, with chants.
