   • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 10.28.9:

     श॒शः क्षु॒रं प्र॒त्यञ्चं॑ जगा॒राद्रिं॑ लो॒गेन॒ व्य॑भेदमा॒रात्।
     बृ॒हन्तं॑ चिद् ऋह॒ते र॑न्धयानि॒ वय॑द्व॒त्सो वृ॑ष॒भं शूशु॑वानः॥

     śaśaḥ kṣuram pratyañcaṃ jagārādriṃ logena vy abhedam ārāt.
     bṛhantaṃ cid ṛhate randhayāni vayad vatso vṛṣabhaṃ śūśuvānaḥ.

     (Vasukra speaks) The hare hath swallowed up the opposing razor: I sundered with a clod the distant mountain.
     The great will I make subject to the little: the calf shall wax in strength and cat the bullock.
