तवं तयत पणीनां विदो वसु सं मात्र्भिर्मर्जयसि सव आ दम रतस्य धीतिभिर्दमे | परावतो न साम तद यत्रारणन्ति धीतयः | तरिधातुभिररुषीभिर्वयो दधे रोचमानो वयो दधे

That treasure of the Paṇis thou discoveredst; thou with thy mothers deckest thee in thine abode, with songs of worship in thine home. As ’twere from far, the hymn is heard, where holy songs resound in joy. He with the ruddy-hued, threefold hath won life-power, he, glittering, hath won life-power.
Rig Veda 9.111.3
पूर्वामनु परदिशं याति चेकितत सं रश्मिभिर्यतते दर्शतो रथो दैव्यो दर्शतो रथः | अग्मन्नुक्थानि पौंस्येन्द्रं जैत्राय हर्षयन | वज्रश्च यद भवथो अनपच्युतासमत्स्वनपच्युता
pūrvāmanu pradiśaṃ yāti cekitat saṃ raśmibhiryatate darśato ratho daivyo darśato rathaḥ | aghmannukthāni pauṃsyendraṃ jaitrāya harṣayan | vajraśca yad bhavatho anapacyutāsamatsvanapacyutā
He moves intelligent, directed to the East. The very beauteous car rivals the beams of light, the beautiful celestial car. Hymns, lauding manly valour, came, inciting Indra to success, that ye may be unconquered, both thy bolt and thou, both be unconquered in the war.
