Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.11
इन्द्रं विश्वा अवीवृधन् समुद्रव्यचसं गिरः । रथीतमं रथीनां वाजानां सत्पतिम् पतिम् ॥
indraṃ viśvā avīvṛdhan samudravyacasaṃ giraḥ | rathītamaṃ rathīnāṃ vājānāṃ satpatim patim ||
All sacred songs have magnified Indra expansive as the sea, The best of warriors borne on cars, the Lord, the very Lord of strength.

सख्ये त इन्द्र वाजिनो मा भेम शवसस् पते । त्वाम् अभि प्र णोनुमो जेतारम् अपराजितम् ॥
sakhye ta indra vājino mā bhema śavasas pate | tvām abhi pra ṇonumo jetāram aparājitam ||
Strong in thy friendship, Indra, Lord of power and might, we have no fear. We glorify with praises thee, the never-conquered conqueror.

पूर्वीर् इन्द्रस्य रातयो न वि दस्यन्त्य् ऊतयः । यदी वाजस्य गोमत स्तोतृभ्यो मंहते मघम् ॥
pūrvīr indrasya rātayo na vi dasyanty ūtayaḥ | yadī vājasya gomata stotṛbhyo maṃhate magham ||
The gifts of Indra from of old, his saving succours, never fail, When to the praise-singers he gives the boon of substance rich in kine.
