The personified river invoked repeatedly in a benedictory refrain alongside major gods and cosmic realms.
May Mitra, Varuṇa, Aditi, Sindhu, Earth, and Sky grant us this.

Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
The river/region Sindhu, named as origin point for a demoness and for healing winds, and among waters stirred by the gods.
Those who have set the ocean in motion, and the Sindhu, those who have moved the atmosphere, the earth, and the sky — the gods who travel upon the same chariot as the wind — him, the cooker of the rice-oblation, those gods reach here.
Homage to the tawny-armed one, the fierce one born in the Sindhu — whoever pays homage to her, he departs away from this man's house.
These two winds blow—from the Sindhu, and from the far distance.
