Rig Veda 1.151.4: Mandala 1, Sukta 151, Mantra 4

Sukta 1.151

Devata: Mitra-Varuṇa (dual) (very likely; asura epithet and ṛta-guardianship)

प्र सा क्षितिरसुर या महि प्रिय ऋतावानावृतमा घोषथो बृहत् । युवं दिवो बृहतो दक्षमाभुवं गां न धुर्युप युञ्जाथे अपः ॥

prá sā́ kṣitír asura yā́ máhi priyā́ ṛtā́vānāv ṛtám ā́ ghoṣatho bṛhát | yuváṃ divó bṛható dákṣam ā́bhuvaṃ gā́ṃ na dhury úpa yuñjāthe ápaḥ ||

এই মহান ও প্রিয় ক্ষিতি (সত্তা/অধিকার), হে অসুর-শক্তিগণ, তোমরা ঋতবান হয়ে ‘বৃহৎ’—বিস্তৃত ঋত—রূপে ঘোষণা করো। তোমরা দুইজন বিস্তৃত দ্যৌ (আকাশ)-এর মহৎ দক্ষতা হয়ে উঠেছ; আর তোমরা আপঃ (জলধারা)কে, যেমন ধুর্য গাভী/বৃষকে জোয়ালে জোতা হয়, তেমনি জোয়ালে যুক্ত করো—ধারাগুলিকে কর্মের অধীন করো।
