Sukta 6.67

अश्वा न या वाजिना पूतबन्धू ऋता यद्गर्भमदितिर्भरध्यै । प्र या महि महान्ता जायमाना घोरा मर्ताय रिपवे नि दीधः ॥

aśvā́ ná yā́ vā́jinā pūtá-bandhū ṛtā́ yád gárbham áditir bháradhyai | prá yā́ máhi mahā́ntā jā́yamānā ghorā́ mártāya ripáve ní dīdḥaḥ ||

Like swift steeds, you two—pure in your bond—when Aditi bears the embryo of ṛta to bring it forth. Great and vast as you are in your birth, you become terrible to the mortal who is the enemy; you press him down.
