Rig Veda 9.71

ā dakṣiṇā sṛjyate śuṣmy āsadaṃ veti druho rakṣasaḥ pāti jāgṛviḥ harir opaśaṃ kṛṇute nabhas paya upastire camvor brahma nirṇije

The guerdon is bestowed: the Mighty takes his Seat, and, ever-Watchful, guards from fiend and evil sprite. Gold-hued, he makes the cloud his diadem, the milk his carpet in both worlds, and prayer his robe of state.

pra kṛṣṭiheva śūṣa eti roruvad asuryaṃ varṇaṃ ni riṇīte asya tam jahāti vavrim pitur eti niṣkṛtam upaprutaṃ kṛṇute nirṇijaṃ tanā

Strong, bellowing, he goes, like one who slays the folk; he lets this hue of Asuras flow off from him, Throws off his covering, seeks his father's meeting-place, and thus makes for himself the bright robe he assumes.

adribhiḥ sutaḥ pavate gabhastyor vṛṣāyate nabhasā vepate matī sa modate nasate sādhate girā nenikte apsu yajate parīmaṇi

Onward he flows, from both the hands, pressed out with stones: excited by the prayer, the water makes him wild. He frolics and draws near, completes his work with song, and bathes in streams to satisfy the worshipper.

pari dyukṣaṃ sahasaḥ parvatāvṛdham madhvaḥ siñcanti harmyasya sakṣaṇim ā yasmin gāvaḥ suhutāda ūdhani mūrdhañchrīṇanty agriyaṃ varīmabhiḥ

They pour out meath around the Master of the house, Celestial Strengthener of the mountain that gives might; In whom, through his great powers, oblation-eating cows in their uplifted udder mix their choicest milk.

They, the ten sisters, on the lap of Aditi, have sent him forward like a car from both the arms. He wanders and comes near the Cow's mysterious place, even the place which his inventions have produced.

Like as a falcon to his home, so speeds the God to his own golden wisely-fashioned place to rest. With song they urge the darling to the sacred grass: the Holy One goes like a courser to the Gods.

parā vyakto aruṣo divaḥ kavir vṛṣā tripṛṣṭho anaviṣṭa gā abhi sahasraṇītir yatiḥ parāyatī rebho na pūrvīr uṣaso vi rājati

From far away, from heaven, the red hued noted Sage, Steer of the triple height, hath sung unto the kine. With thousand guidings he, leading this way and that, shines, as a singer, splendidly through many a morn.

tveṣaṃ rūpaṃ kṛṇute varṇo asya sa yatrāśayat samṛtā sedhati sridhaḥ apsā yāti svadhayā daivyaṃ janaṃ saṃ suṣṭutī nasate saṃ goagrayā

His covering assumes a radiant hue; where'er he comes into the fight he drives the foe afar. The Winner of the Floods, with food he seeks the host of heaven, he comes to praises glorified with milk.

Like a bull roaming round the herds he bellows: he hath assumed the brilliancy of Surya. Down to the earth hath looked the heavenly Falcon: Soma with wisdom views all living creatures.
