Rig Veda 8.27.22: Mandala 8, Sukta 27, Mantra 22
Sukta 8.27
वयं तद्वः सम्राज आ वृणीमहे पुत्रो न बहुपाय्यम् । अश्याम तदादित्या जुह्वतो हविर्येन वस्योऽनशामहै ॥
vayáṃ tád vaḥ samrā́ja ā́ vṛṇīmahe putró ná bahu-pā́yyam | aśyā́ma tád ādityā́ júhvato havír yéna vásyo ’náśāmahai ||
That we choose from you, O sovereign powers, as a son chooses the much-protecting aid: may we attain it, O Ādityas, by the offering we pour—by which we may share in the better and the more luminous good.
