8.56.1

प्रति॑ ते दस्यवे वृक॒ राधो॑ अद॒र्श्यह्र॑यम् ।
द्यौर्न प्र॑थि॒ना शवः॑ ॥

To the destroyer, O Vṛka, your gift has appeared — unbreakable, like the wide sky, is the strength.

दश॒ मह्यं॑ पौतक्र॒तः स॒हस्रा॒ दस्य॑वे॒ वृकः॑ ।
नित्या॑द्रा॒यो अ॑मंहत ॥

Ten thousand from Pautakratu have been given to me; for the destroyer, the wolf bestowed them from constant wealth.

श॒तं मे॑ गर्द॒भानां॑ श॒तमूर्णा॑वतीनाम् ।
श॒तं दा॒साँ अति॒ स्रजः॑ ॥

A hundred donkeys are mine, a hundred woolly ewes; a hundred servants and garlands beyond.

तत्रो॒ अपि॒ प्राणी॑यत पू॒तक्र॑तायै॒ व्य॑क्ता ।
अश्वा॑ना॒मिन्न यू॒थ्या॑म् ॥

There too it was led forth, made manifest for the pure-minded one, like the horse among the herd.

अचे॑त्य॒ग्निश्चि॑कि॒तुर्ह॑व्य॒वाट्स सु॒मद्र॑थः अ॒ग्निः शु॒क्रेण॑ शो॒चिषा॑ ।
बृ॒हत्सूरो॑ अरोचत दि॒वि सूर्यो॑ अरोचत ॥

Agni, the discerning offering-bearer, is perceived; Agni of the fine chariot shone with bright flame like the vast sun; in heaven the sun shone.
