Rig Veda 7.16.8: Mandala 7, Sukta 16, Mantra 8
Sukta 7.16
येषामिळा घृतहस्ता दुरोण आँ अपि प्राता निषीदति । ताँस्त्रायस्व सहस्य द्रुहो निदो यच्छा नः शर्म दीर्घश्रुत् ॥
yeṣā́m iḷā́ ghṛtáhastā duroṇá ā́ṃ ápi prātā́ níṣīdati | tā́ṃs trā́yasva sahasya drúho nidó yáchā naḥ śárma dīrgháśrut ||
Aqueles em cuja casa Iḷā, com as mãos cheias de ghṛta, se assenta na aurora primeira — protege-os, ó Filho da Força, do hostil sinuoso e da voz da censura; concede-nos abrigo, ó Tu que ouves ao longe.
