Rig Veda 5.7.3 — Mandala 5, Sukta 7, Mantra 3
Sukta 5.7
Rishi: Atri (Ātreya tradition) (traditional ascription for RV 5.7)
Devata: Agni (as the power of the sacrificial flame and inner will; context of the sukta is Agni-centric)
Chandas: Trishtubh (likely; RV 5.7 predominantly Trishtubh—verify against pada count in critical edition)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
सं यदिषो वनामहे सं हव्या मानुषाणाम् । उत द्युम्नस्य शवस ऋतस्य रश्मिमा ददे ॥

saṃ yadiṣó vanā́mahe saṃ havyā́ mā́nuṣāṇām | utá dyumnásya śávasā ṛtásya raśmím ā́ dade ||
Translation
When we gather together the impulsions of increase, and also the human offerings, then by the force of luminous power he places within us the ray of ṛta—the straight thread of the Truth-order.
