AV 7 3.1

अया विष्ठा जनयन् कर्वराणि स हि घृणिर् उरुर् वराय गातुः । स प्रत्युदैद् धरुणं मध्वो अग्रं स्वया तन्वा तन्वम् ऐरयत

ayā viṣṭhā janayan karvarāṇi sa hi ghṛṇir urur varāya gātuḥ | sa pratyudaid dharuṇaṃ madhvo agraṃ svayā tanvā tanvam airayata

Standing apart in this way, begetting (his) deeds — for he is a glow, wide, a path to what is chosen; he rose up to meet the support, the first of the honey; with his own body he set the body in motion.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

With thine eleven teams, to aid our wishes, yea, with thy two- and-twenty teams, O Vāyu, With all thy three-and-thirty teams for drawing, here loose these teams, thou who art prompt to listen!

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
