Rig Veda 8.96.19: Mandala 8, Sukta 96, Mantra 19
Sukta 8.96
स सुक्रतू रणिता यः सुतेष्वनुत्तमन्युर्यो अहेव रेवान् । य एक इन्नर्यपांसि कर्ता स वृत्रहा प्रतीदन्यमाहुः ॥
sá sukrátū ráṇitā yáḥ sutéṣv ánuttamanyuḥ yó áheva revā́n | yá éka ín nári apā́ṃsi kártā sá vṛtrahā́ pratī́d anyám āhuḥ ||
He is the good-in-will, the victor, who in the soma-pressings has an unsurpassed ardour, who is rich like a serpent (in stored power). He alone is the doer of the works for man; him, the slayer of obstruction, they call the match for every other.
