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 - [Previous: v1.c3.s18.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.60) - [Next: v1.c3.s18.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.62) - [Up: v1.c3.s18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18) ## Linked texts (1) - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.61) · Pramāṇa
