Sukta 9.86
मनीषिभिः पवते पूर्व्यः कविर्नृभिर्यतः परि कोशाँ अचिक्रदत् । त्रितस्य नाम जनयन्मधु क्षरदिन्द्रस्य वायोः सख्याय कर्तवे ॥
manīṣíbhiḥ pavate pū́rvyaḥ kavír nṛ́bhir yatáḥ pári kośā́ṃ acikradat | tritásya nā́ma janáyan mádhu kṣárad índrasya vāyóḥ sakhyā́ya kártave ||
With the illumined understandings he purifies himself, the ancient seer; supported by the human powers he ranges around the vessels. Bringing to birth the name of Trita, he drips sweetness—so as to establish the friendship of Indra and Vayu.
