Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 7.44

उभा जिग्यथुर् न परा जयेथे न परा जिग्ये कतरश् चनैनयोः । इन्द्रश् च विष्णो यद् अपस्पृधेथां त्रेधा सहस्रं वि तद् ऐरयेथाम् ॥१॥

ubhā jigyathur na parā jayethe na parā jigye kataraś canainayoḥ | indraś ca viṣṇo yad apaspṛdhethāṃ tredhā sahasraṃ vi tad airayethām ||1||

Ye Twain have conquered, ne'er have you been conquered: never hath either of the Twain been vanquished. Ye, Indra-Visnu, when ye fought the battle, produced this infinite with three divisions.
