Mantra 1
Sukta 37
यस्तिग्मशृङ्गो वृषभो न भीमः एकः कृष्टीश्च्यवयति प्र विश्वाः । यः शश्वतो अदाशुषो गयस्य प्रयन्तासि सुष्वितराय वेदः
yás tigmá-śṛṅgo vṛṣabhó ná bhīmá ékaḥ kṛṣṭī́ś cyávayati prá víśvāḥ | yáḥ śáśvato á-dāśuṣo gáyasya prayantā́si suṣvitarā́ya védaḥ ||
He who, sharp-horned, bull-like, dread, alone sets all the peoples moving forth; who, from of old, is bestower of substance unto him that worshippeth not—thou art the giver (even so), O Knower, for the well-stirred rite.
