Rig Veda 7.41.1: Mandala 7, Sukta 41, Mantra 1

Sukta 7.41

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha
Devata: Morning litany to multiple deities (Agni, Indra, Mitra-Varuṇa, Aśvins, Bhaga, Pūṣan, Brahmaṇaspati, Soma, Rudra)
Chandas: Jagatī (probable due to longer line with repeated prātar; traditional classification often places such litanies in Jagatī)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्रातरग्निं प्रातरिन्द्रं हवामहे प्रातर्मित्रावरुणा प्रातरश्विना । प्रातर्भगं पूषणं ब्रह्मणस्पतिं प्रातः सोममुत रुद्रं हुवेम ॥

Transliteration

prā́tar agníṃ prā́tar índraṃ havāmahe prā́tar mitrā́varuṇā prā́tar aśvínā | prā́tar bhágaṃ pū́ṣaṇaṃ bráhmaṇas pátiṃ prā́taḥ sómam utá rudráṃ huvema ||

Translation

At dawn we call Agni, at dawn we call Indra; at dawn Mitra and Varuṇa, at dawn the Aśvins. At dawn we call Bhaga, Pūṣan, and Brahmaṇaspati; at dawn we call Soma, and also Rudra—so that the whole being may be set in right motion at the day’s beginning.
