Rig Veda 5.49.3
अदत्रया दयते वार्याणि पूषा भगो अदितिर वस्त उस्रः | इन्द्रो विष्णुर वरुणो मित्रो अग्निर अहानि भद्रा जनयन्त दस्माः

Sending the shelter which we ask, the foeless Savitar and the Rivers shall approach us. When I, the sacrifice's priest, invite them, may we he lords of wealth and rich possessions.

pra ye vasubhya īvad ā namo dur ye mitre varuṇe sūktavācaḥ | avaitv abhvaṃ kṛṇutā varīyo divaspṛthivyor avasā madema
They who devote such worship to the Vasus, singing their hymns to Varuṇa and Mitra, Vouchsafe them ample room, far off be danger. Through grace of Heaven and Earth may we be happy.
