1.87.5

pi̱tuḥ pra̱tnasya̱ janma̍nā vadāmasi̱ soma̍sya ji̱hvā pra ji̍gāti̱ cakṣa̍sā |
yad ī̱m indra̱ṁ śamy ṛkvā̍ṇa̱ āśa̱tād in nāmā̍ni ya̱jñiyā̍ni dadhire ||

We speak by our descent from our primeval Sire; our tongue, when we behold the Soma, stirs itself. When, shouting, they had joined Indra in toil of fight, then only they obtained their sacrificial names.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
