Rig Veda 9.71.2: Mandala 9, Sukta 71, Mantra 2
Sukta 9.71
प्र कृष्टिहेव शूष एति रोरुवदसुर्यं वर्णं नि रिणीते अस्य तम् । जहाति वव्रिं पितुरेति निष्कृतमुपप्रुतं कृणुते निर्णिजं तना ॥
prá kṛṣṭihéva śūṣá eti rórūvad asuryàṁ várṇaṁ ní riṇīte asya tám | jahā́ti vavrím pitúr eti niṣkṛtám upaprútam kṛṇute nirṇíjaṁ tánā ||
Forward he moves with impelling force, like one who wins the field for the peoples; with a resounding cry he strips away the asuric colour, the darkness that clings to him. He casts off the enclosing sheath and goes to the Father’s prepared home; he makes for himself, by his own being, the purifying luminous robe, crossing beyond the lower obstruction.
