Rig Veda 10.93.8: Mandala 10, Sukta 93, Mantra 8
Sukta 10.93
Devata: R̥bhus (triad); imagery overlaps with Indraic ‘harī’ and vājin (force-bearer)
Chandas: Gāyatrī/Anuṣṭubh not applicable; likely Triṣṭubh/related (needs verification for 10.93.1 specifically)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
ऋभुॠभुक्षा ऋभुर्विधतो मद आ ते हरी जूजुवानस्य वाजिना । दुष्टरं यस्य साम चिदृधग्यज्ञो न मानुषः ॥

Translation
リブ（R̥bhu）、リブクシャ（R̥bhukṣa）、リブ——祭式を整える者の恍惚が湧き起こる。豊饒の主よ、あなたの二頭の駿馬は、切なる疾駆のために轡を受けて繋がれた。彼のサーマン（sāman）の調べは渡り難く、ヤジュニャ（yajña）は人の域を離れた別個の力となり——凡なる思惟を超えて働く。
