Rig Veda 10.40.8: Mandala 10, Sukta 40, Mantra 8
Sukta 10.40
युवं ह कृशं युवमश्विना शयुं युवं विधन्तं विधवामुरुष्यथः । युवं सनिभ्यः स्तनयन्तमश्विनाप व्रजमूर्णुथः सप्तास्यम् ॥
yuváṃ ha kṛśáṃ yuvám aśvinā śayúṃ yuváṃ vidhántaṃ vidhávām uruṣyathaḥ | yuváṃ saníbhyaḥ stanáyantam aśvinā́pa vrajám ūrṇuthaḥ saptā́syam ||
You aided the weak; you, O Ashvins, aided Śayu; you protected the worshipper from the widowhood that would consume her. You, O Ashvins, opened out the thunderous enclosure for the gain-seekers—the seven-mouthed (release of many streams of force).
