RV 6 23.1

सुत इत् त्वꣳ निमिश्ल इन्द्र सोमे स्तोमे ब्रह्मणि शस्यमान उक्थे । यद् वा युक्ताभ्याम् मघवन् हरिभ्याम् बिभ्रद् वज्रम् बाह्वोर् इन्द्र यासि

You indeed cling to the pressed soma, Indra, while the praise, the sacred formula, the recitation is being chanted — or when, O bounteous one, with your two harnessed bay horses, bearing the mace in your arms, Indra, you drive.
