Rig Veda 10.40.4: Mandala 10, Sukta 40, Mantra 4
Sukta 10.40
युवां मृगेव वारणा मृगण्यवो दोषा वस्तोर्हविषा नि ह्वयामहे । युवं होत्रामृतुथा जुह्वते नरेषं जनाय वहथः शुभस्पती ॥
yuvā́ṃ mṛgéva vāraṇā́ mṛgaṇyávo doṣā́ vástoḥ havíṣā ní hvayāmahe | yuváṃ hotrā́m ṛtuthā́ juhváte naréṣaṃ jánāya vahathaḥ śubhaspatī ||
You two, like eager seekers of the wild, we call with the offering at night and at dawn. You two, lords of beauty, carry to the people the ‘nareṣa’—the man-strength/heroic essence—when the Hotṛ offers in due season and right order.
