RV 6 40.1
इन्द्र पिब तुभ्यꣳ सुतो मदायाव स्य हरी वि मुचा सखाया । उत प्र गाय गण आ निषद्याथा यज्ञाय गृणते वयो धाः
indra piba tubhyaṁ suto madāyāva sya harī vi mucā sakhāyā | uta pra gāya gaṇa ā niṣadyāthā yajñāya gṛṇate vayo dhāḥ
Indra, drink: for you it is pressed, for intoxication. Unharness the two bays, unyoke the comrades; and sing forth, having sat down in the company; then set vigour in the sacrifice, in the singer.
