Rig Veda 7.7.6: Mandala 7, Sukta 7, Mantra 6

Sukta 7.7

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha (Vasiṣṭhāḥ)
Devata: Agni (implicit in the hymn-cycle; the inspired fires and mantra-forging powers serve Agni/ṛta)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (likely; 7th maṇḍala Agni hymns predominantly Triṣṭubh—exact meter should be verified by pada syllable count)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

एते द्युम्नेभिर्विश्वमातिरन्त मन्त्रं ये वारं नर्या अतक्षन् । प्र ये विशस्तिरन्त श्रोषमाणा आ ये मे अस्य दीधयन्नृतस्य ॥

Translation

These, by their luminous powers, have overpassed and encompassed the whole; they who have fashioned the sacred Word as a desirable and manly plenitude. They who, hearkening, carry forward the peoples—these have kindled in me the vision of this Truth (ṛta).
