RV 7 40.2

मित्रस् तन् नो वरुणो रोदसी च द्युभक्तम् इन्द्रो अर्यमा ददातु । दिदेष्टु देव्य् अदिती रेक्णो वायुश् च यन् नियुवैते भगश् च

That heaven-apportioned (share) let Mitra give us, and Varuṇa, and the two worlds, Indra, Aryaman. Let the goddess Aditi point out to us the inheritance, and that which Vāyu and Bhaga together assign.
