The Rig Veda — Mandala 1, Hymn 181 (1896)
“ May your pure steeds, rain-drinkers, bring you hither, swift as the tempest, your celestial coursers, Rapid as thought, with fair backs, full of vigour, resplendent in their native light, O Asvins. 3. Your car is like a torrent rushing downward: may it come nigh, broad-seated, for our welfare,-- Car holy, strong, that ever would be foremost, thought-swift, which ye, for whom we long, have mounted. ”
