Rig Veda 7.44

dadhikrāṃ vaḥ prathamam aśvinoṣasam agniṃ samiddham bhagam ūtaye huve indraṃ viṣṇum pūṣaṇam brahmaṇas patim ādityān dyāvāpṛthivī apaḥ svaḥ

I call on Dadhikras, the first, to give you aid, the Asvins, Bhaga, Dawn, and Agni kindled well, Indra, and Vishnu, Pushan, Brahmanaspati, Adityas, Heaven and Earth, the Waters, and the Light.

dadhikrām u namasā bodhayanta udīrāṇā yajñam upaprayantaḥ iﾱāṃ devīm barhiṣi sādayanto 'śvinā viprā suhavā huvema

When, rising, to the sacrifice we hasten, awaking Dadhikras with adorations. Seating on sacred grass the Goddess Ila. let us invoke the sage swift-hearing Asvins.

dadhikrāvāṇam bubudhāno agnim upa bruva uṣasaṃ sūryaṃ gām bradhnam māṃścator varuṇasya babhruṃ te viśvāsmad duritā yāvayantu

While I am thus arousing Dadhikravan I speak to Agni, Earth, and Dawn, and Surya, The red, the brown of Varuna ever mindful: may they ward off from us all grief and trouble.

dadhikrāvā prathamo vājy arvāgre rathānām bhavati prajānan saṃvidāna uṣasā sūryeṇādityebhir vasubhir aṅgirobhiḥ

Foremost is Dadhikravan, vigorous courser; in forefront of the cars, his way he knoweth, Closely allied with Surya and with Morning, Adityas, and Angirases, and Vasus.

ā no dadhikrāḥ pathyām anaktv ṛtasya panthām anvetavā u śṛṇotu no daivyaṃ śardho agniḥ śṛṇvantu viśve mahiṣā amūrāḥ

May Dadhikras prepare the way we travel that we may pass along the path of Order. May Agni bear us, and the Heavenly Army: hear us all Mighty Ones whom none deceiveth.
