Rig Veda 1.162.4: Mandala 1, Sukta 162, Mantra 4

Sukta 1.162

Rishi: Dīrghatamas Aucathya (traditional attribution for RV 1.162)
Devata: Aśva / Aśvamedha-yajña (with prominent roles of Pūṣan and the Devas as recipients)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (11-syllable pādas; typical for this hymn section)

यद्धविष्यमृतुशो देवयानं त्रिर्मानुषाः पर्यश्वं नयन्ति । अत्रा पूष्णः प्रथमो भाग एति यज्ञं देवेभ्यः प्रतिवेदयन्नजः ॥

yád haviṣyàm ṛtuśó devayā́naṃ trír mā́nuṣāḥ párī aśváṃ náyanti | átrā́ pū́ṣṇaḥ prathamó bhāgá eti yajñáṃ devébhyaḥ prativedáyan ajáḥ ||

Apabila daya-persembahan, bergerak menurut irama musim-musim, dipimpin tiga kali oleh tenaga manusia mengelilingi kuda yang berkuasa pantas; maka di sini bahagian pertama menjadi milik Pūṣan, yang memperkenalkan yajña kepada para dewa dengan sedar dan menyampaikannya dengan tepat—dialah ajá, penuntun batin yang tidak dilahirkan.
