   • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 1.170.2:

     किं न॑ इन्द्र जिघांससि॒ भ्रात॑रो म॒रुत॒स्तव॑ ।
     तेभिः॑ कल्पस्व साधु॒या मा नः॑ स॒मर॑णे वधीः ॥

     kíṃ na indra jighāṃsasi bhrā́taro marútastáva.
     tébhiḥ kalpasva sādhuyā́ mā́ naḥ samáraṇe vadhīḥ.

     The Maruts are thy brothers. Why, O Indra, wouldst thou take our lives?
     Agree with them in a friendly way, and do not slay us in the battle.
