Sukta 8.52
य उक्था केवला दधे यः सोमं धृषितापिबत् । यस्मै विष्णुस्त्रीणि पदा विचक्रम उप मित्रस्य धर्मभिः ॥
yá ukthā́ kévalā dadhé yáḥ sómaṃ dhṛṣitā́ píbát | yásmai víṣṇus trī́ṇi padā́ vi-cakramé úpa mitrásya dhárma-bhiḥ ||
He who has set the pure utterances in place, who drank the Soma with daring force— for him Vishnu strode out the three steps, according to the laws of Mitra: establishing the ordered wideness for the victory.
