Sukta 1.164
अस्य वामस्य पलितस्य होतुस्तस्य भ्राता मध्यमो अस्त्यश्नः । तृतीयो भ्राता घृतपृष्ठो अस्यात्रापश्यं विश्पतिं सप्तपुत्रम् ॥
asyá vā́masya palitásya hótus tásya bhrā́tā madhyamó asty áśnaḥ | tṛtī́yo bhrā́tā ghṛtá-pṛṣṭho asyā́trā́paśyaṃ viśpátiṃ saptá-putram ||
Von diesem geliebten, uralten Hotar hat der mittlere Bruder das Wesen des Essers; der dritte Bruder hat einen Rücken aus Ghrita, leuchtendem Reichtum. Hier erblickte ich den Herrn der Wohnstatt, den Sippenmeister, mit sieben Söhnen.
