v1.c3.s18.61

Dabhīti appears several times in the Rigveda as a hero or sage. Indra overcomes on his behalf Cumuri and Dhuni;¹ he pressed Soma for Indra,² who rewarded him.³ For him 30,000 Dāsas were sent to sleep,⁴ and for him the Dasyus were bound without cords.⁵ Dabhīti also appears, with Turvīti, as a protégé of the Aśvins.⁶ There seems no reason to deny that he was a real person.⁷
