Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 5.7.10

Transliteration

íti cit manyúm adhríjas tvā́dātam ā́ paśúṃ dade | ā́d agne ápṛṇato ’tríḥ sāsahyā́d dásyūn íṣaḥ sāsahyā́n nṝ́n ||

Translation

Thus even the unkindled (or the ill-ordered) gives up his wrath and offers the living power won through you. Then, O Agni, Atri—unfailing in the giving—would overpower the dasyus: he would win the impulsions of increase, he would win the true men (the strong soul-forces).
