God Savitri comes nigh with changing seasons. May he enhance our stock of food and sons! May he grant strength through days and nights to follow and may he send us wealth with progeny.
Rig Veda IV, 53, 7
May God Savitri, chariot-borne, come hither, filling the heavens, rich in treasure divine, dispenser of everything that makes man happy, lulling to sleep, then stirring all that breathes
Rig Veda VII, 45, 1
His arms are far-extended, mighty, golden. They reach as far as the utmost limits of Heaven. Now is his greatness highly to be praised.
Rig Veda VII, 45, 2
Then they said to the organ of hearing: Chant the Udgitha for us. So be it, said the organ and chanted for them. Whatever enjoyment common to all comes from the ear, it secured for the gods by chanting, while the enjoyment derived from fine hearing it utilized for itself. Now, the demons knew that through this chanter the gods would overcome them. They charged at it and pierced it with evil. That evil is what is found today when one hears improper things; that is that evil.

Then they said to the mind: Chant the Udgitha for us. So be it, said the mind and chanted for them. Whatever enjoyment common to all comes from the mind, it secured for the gods by chanting, while the enjoyment derived from fine thinking it utilizedfor itself. Now, the demons knew that through this chanter the gods would overcome them. They charged at it and pierced it with evil. That evil is what is found today when one thinks improperly; that is that evil. Likewise they also touched these other deities with evil-smote them with evil.
