RV 8 88.1

तꣳ वो दस्मम् ऋतीषहꣳ वसोर् मन्दानम् अन्धसः । अभि वत्सꣳ न स्वसरेषु धेनव इन्द्रꣳ गीर्भिर् नवामहे

taṁ vo dasmam ṛtīṣahaṁ vasor mandānam andhasaḥ | abhi vatsaṁ na svasareṣu dhenava indraṁ gīrbhir navāmahe

To him, your wondrous one, who withstands assaults, who exults in the good stalk — to Indra we bellow with songs, as milk-cows to the calf in the pastures.
