Rig Veda 7.40.5: Mandala 7, Sukta 40, Mantra 5

Sukta 7.40

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha
Devata: Composite: Vishnu, Rudra, and the Aśvins (with Vishnu foregrounded in the offering-movement)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable)

अस्य देवस्य मीळ्हुषो वया विष्णोरेषस्य प्रभृथे हविर्भिः । विदे हि रुद्रो रुद्रियं महित्वं यासिष्टं वर्तिरश्विनाविरावत् ॥

asyá devásya mīḷhúṣo vayā́ víṣṇor eṣásya prabhṛthé havírbhiḥ | vidé hí rudró rudriyáṃ mahitváṃ yāsiṣṭáṃ vártír aśvināv írāvat ||

Pour ce dieu bienveillant — Viṣṇu, qui s’avance à grands pas — nous mettons en avant les forces vitales par nos offrandes. Car Rudra connaît en vérité la grandeur rudrienne. Que les Aśvins viennent par la meilleure voie du mouvement, riches de plénitude et de juste nourriture.
