RV 4 40.1

दधिक्राव्ण इद् उ नु चर्किराम विश्वा इन् माम् उषसः सूदयन्तु । अपाम् अग्नेर् उषसः सूर्यस्य बृहस्पतेर् आङ्गिरसस्य जिष्णोः

dadhikrāvṇa id u nu carkirāma viśvā in mām uṣasaḥ sūdayantu | apām agner uṣasaḥ sūryasya bṛhaspater āṅgirasasya jiṣṇoḥ

Of Dadhikrāvan indeed let us now make mention; may all the dawns speed me on — (mention) of the waters, of Agni, of Dawn, of Sūrya, of Bṛhaspati Āṅgirasa, the conquering one.

सत्वा भरिषो गविषो दुवन्यसच् छ्रवस्याद् इष उषसस् तुरण्यसत् । सत्यो द्रवो द्रवरः पतꣳगरो दधिक्रावेषम् ऊर्जꣳ स्वर् जनत्

satvā bhariṣo gaviṣo duvanyasac chravasyād iṣa uṣasas turaṇyasat | satyo dravo dravaraḥ pataṁgaro dadhikrāveṣam ūrjaṁ svar janat

A warrior, a bearer of spoil, a seeker of cattle, eager to run, he would seek glory, he hastens to the refreshment of the dawns: true, a runner, swift-running, flying onward — Dadhikrāvan shall bring forth food, vigour, and the sun's light.

RV 4 40.3

उत स्मास्य द्रवतस् तुरण्यतः पर्णꣳ न वेर् अनु वाति प्रगर्धिनः । श्येनस्येव ध्रजतो अङ्कसम् परि दधिक्राव्णः सहोर्जा तरित्रतः

uta smāsya dravatas turaṇyataḥ parṇaṁ na ver anu vāti pragardhinaḥ | śyenasyeva dhrajato aṅkasam pari dadhikrāvṇaḥ sahorjā taritrataḥ

And after him, as he runs and hastens and presses greedily forward, (the wind) blows like the wing of a bird; around the flank, as of a swooping falcon, of Dadhikrāvan, who wins through with force and vigour.

उत स्य वाजी क्षिपणिꣳ तुरण्यति ग्रीवायाम् बद्धो अपिकक्ष आसनि । क्रतुꣳ दधिक्रा अनु सꣳतवीत्वत् पथाम् अङ्काꣳस्य् अन्व् आपनीफणत्

uta sya vājī kṣipaṇiṁ turaṇyati grīvāyām baddho apikakṣa āsani | kratuṁ dadhikrā anu saṁtavītvat pathām aṅkāṁsy anv āpanīphaṇat

And this prize-winner hastens to the lash, bound at the neck, at the girth, in the mouth; Dadhikrā stretched out his resolve accordingly, snorting along the bends of the roads.

RV 4 40.5

हꣳसः शुचिषद् वसुर् अन्तरिक्षसद् धोता वेदिषद् अतिथिर् दुरोणसत् । नृषद् वरसद् ऋतसद् व्योमसद् अब्जा गोजा ऋतजा अद्रिजा ऋतम्

haṁsaḥ śuciṣad vasur antarikṣasad dhotā vediṣad atithir duroṇasat | nṛṣad varasad ṛtasad vyomasad abjā gojā ṛtajā adrijā ṛtam

The goose that sits in brightness, the good one that sits in the mid-air, the hotṛ that sits on the altar, the guest that sits in the house; sitting among men, sitting in the chosen place, sitting in ṛta, sitting in heaven — born of water, born of the cow, born of ṛta, born of the rock: (he is) ṛta.
