AV 19 56.1

यमस्य लोकाद् अध्य् आ बभूविथ प्रमदा मर्त्यान् प्र युनक्षि धीरः । एकाकिना सरथं यासि विद्वान्त् स्वप्नं मिमानो असुरस्य योनौ

yamasya lokād adhy ā babhūvitha pramadā martyān pra yunakṣi dhīraḥ | ekākinā sarathaṃ yāsi vidvānt svapnaṃ mimāno asurasya yonau

From Yama's world thou hast come here; being steadfast, thou yokest mortals with heedlessness. With the solitary one thou goest in one chariot, knowing, measuring out sleep in the womb of the Asura.
