He hath filled heaven and earth and the great realm of light, when at his birth the skillful held him in their hold. He like a horse is led forth to the sacrifice Sage, graciously inclined, that he may win us strength.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 3.2.7; the wording of this text may differ in places.
