Rig Veda 1.116.2 — Mandala 1, Sukta 116, Mantra 2
Sukta 1.116
वीळुपत्मभिराशुहेमभिर्वा देवानां वा जूतिभिः शाशदाना । तद्रासभो नासत्या सहस्रमाजा यमस्य प्रधने जिगाय ॥
vīḷupátmabhir āśuhémabhir vā devā́nāṃ vā jūtíbhiḥ śā́śadānā | tád rāsábho nāsatyā sahásram ā́jā yámasya pradháne jigāya ||
With firm-flying strides or with swift-golden impulses, or with the rush of the gods’ own speeds, pressing ever onward—thus, O Nāsatyas, the ass won a thousand in the contest of Yama. So too let your powers in us win abundance of force from the realm of limitation and deathward habit, by the victorious advance of right energy.
