Rig Veda 8.21.8: Mandala 8, Sukta 21, Mantra 8
Sukta 8.21
विद्मा सखित्वमुत शूर भोज्यमा ते ता वज्रिन्नीमहे । उतो समस्मिन्ना शिशीहि नो वसो वाजे सुशिप्र गोमति ॥
vidmā́ sakhitvám uta śūra bhojyàm ā́ te tā́ vajrinn īmahe | utó samasmínnā́ śiśīhi no vaso vā́je suśipra gómatī ||
We know thy friendship and thy heroic bounty; therefore, O wielder of the thunderbolt, we draw near to claim them. And in this very togetherness, O Vasu, sharpen us—O fair-lipped one—in the plenitude of force that is rich in rays of knowledge.
