Rigveda
Indra's tawny chariot-steeds, harnessed and praised as unrestrained by enemies.
They harness the tawny, ruddy one as he moves around those who stand firm;
Sing to that Indra — in whose presence his two tawny steeds are not restrained even in battles by enemies.
release the horse of Sudās for wealth;
Sāmaveda
Horses used as similes for Soma's motion and as the literal steeds drawing the chariots of Indra and the Sun.
Like a chariot-horse he has been released;
The Sun has yoked the seven shining mares, daughters of his chariot.
Indra alone — together with his two bay horses, yoked by his word — is mixed in with them.
