Rig Veda 10.74.1: Mandala 10, Sukta 74, Mantra 1
Sukta 10.74
वसूनां वा चर्कृष इयक्षन्धिया वा यज्ञैर्वा रोदस्योः । अर्वन्तो वा ये रयिमन्तः सातौ वनुं वा ये सुश्रुणं सुश्रुतो धुः ॥
vasū́nāṃ vā carkṛṣá iyákṣan dhiyā́ vā yajñáir vā ródasyoḥ | árvanto vā yé rayimántaḥ sātáu vánam vā yé su-śrúṇam su-śrúto dhuḥ ||
Some among the Vasus strive by an intense inner labour; others attain by the illumined thought, or by the sacrifice that joins Heaven and Earth. Some are the swift steeds of the being, rich in rayi, winning the plenitude in the conquest; others bear the good-hearing and the right-hearing—powers that carry the true inspiration.
