Rig Veda 9.92.5
तन नु सत्यं पवमानस्यास्तु यत्र विश्वे कारवः संनसन्त | जयोतिर्यदह्ने अक्र्णोदु लोकं परावन मनुं दस्यवे करभीकम
tan nu satyaṃ pavamānasyāstu yatra viśve kāravaḥ saṃnasanta | jyotiryadahne akṛṇodu lokaṃ prāvan manuṃ dasyave karabhīkam
Now let this be the truth of Pavamana, there where all singers gather them together, That he hath given us room and made the daylight, hath holpen Manu and repelled the Dasyu.
Rig Veda 9.92.6
परि सद्मेव पशुमान्ति होता राजा न सत्यः समितीरियानः | सोमः पुनानः कलशानयासीत सीदन मर्गो न महिषो वनेषु
pari sadmeva paśumānti hotā rājā na satyaḥ samitīriyānaḥ | somaḥ punānaḥ kalaśānayāsīt sīdan mṛgho na mahiṣo vaneṣu
As the priest seeks the station rich in cattle, like a true King who goes to great assemblies, Soma hath sought the beakers while they cleansed him, and like a wild bull, in the wood hath settled.
