Rig Veda 7.40.3: Mandala 7, Sukta 40, Mantra 3

Sukta 7.40

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha
Devata: Maruts (primary), with Agni and Sarasvatī as co-impellers
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable)

सेदुग्रो अस्तु मरुतः स शुष्मी यं मर्त्यं पृषदश्वा अवाथ । उतेमग्निः सरस्वती जुनन्ति न तस्य रायः पर्येतास्ति ॥

séd ugró astu marutaḥ sá śuṣmī yáṃ martyáṃ pṛṣadaśvā avātha | utém agníḥ sárasvatī junánti ná tásya rāyáḥ paryetā́sti ||

He indeed becomes formidable, O Maruts, he becomes full of force—the mortal whom you, dappled-horsed powers, protect. And Agni and Sarasvatī too urge him onward; for his plenitude of being has no boundary that can be circled around.
