And see this one. In just two lines, there are four similes. RV 3-45-3

गम्भीरान् उदधीनिव क्रतुम् पुष्यसि गा:-इव।
प्र सु-गोपा: यवसम् धेनव: यथा ह्रदम् कुल्या:- इव आशत // RV_3,45.3 //

Like pools of water deep and full, like kine thou cherishest thy might;
Like the milch-cows that go well-guarded to the mead, like water-brooks that reach the lake.

Indra is praised in this mantra. He cherishes pious works like rivers filling the seas and like the cowherds filling the needs of his cows. He goes to such kratus or pious works so eagerly just as the cows seek their pasture and like the rivulets seeking the lakes.
