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 ॥

Translation
വളർച്ചയുടെ പ്രേരണകളെ ഞങ്ങൾ ഒരുമിച്ചു ചേർക്കുകയും മനുഷ്യരുടെ ഹവ്യങ്ങളും അർപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നപ്പോൾ, ദ്യുമ്നത്തിന്റെ ശവസ്സ്—തേജോമയ ശക്തി—കൊണ്ട് അവൻ ഞങ്ങളിലകത്ത് ഋതത്തിന്റെ രശ്മിയെ, സത്യക്രമത്തിന്റെ നേരായ നൂലിനെ, സ്ഥാപിക്കുന്നു.
