- c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 10.114.9:

कमृत्विजाम्अष्टमं शूरमाहुर्हरी इन्द्रस्य नि चिकाय कः स्वित् ॥- kaśchandasāṃ yogamāveda dhīraḥ ko dhiṣṇyāṃ prati vācaṃ papāda.
kamṛtvijāmaṣṭamaṃ śūramāhurharī indrasya ni cikāya kaḥ svit. - What sage hath learned the metres' application? Who hath gained Vāk, the spirit's aim and object?
