Rig Veda 8.73.10: Mandala 8, Sukta 73, Mantra 10
Sukta 8.73
Rishi: Atri (probable, as the hymn repeatedly references Atraye; traditional attribution to Atri or Atris in Aśvin hymns)
Devata: Aśvinau (dual), addressed as vṛṣaṇvasū
Chandas: Gāyatrī (probable: short refrain-like structure; exact meter requires full hymn scan)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
इहा गतं वृषण्वसू शृणुतं म इमं हवम् । अन्ति षद्भूतु वामवः ॥

విజయబలసంపన్నులైన వృషణ్వసూ! ఇక్కడికి రండి; నా ఈ హవం (ఆహ్వానం) వినండి. మీ అవం (సహాయం) సమీపంలో ఆసీనమై, సన్నిధిగా సత్యరూపంగా ఉండుగాక.
