Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Mythic reddish/solar figure who mounted to heaven, invoked in the riddle hymn.
How many ascents cause one to mount to the light, by which the Rohita mounted to heaven — bearers of kingship, bearers of dominion, bearers of riches, givers of riches, those for whom grain is wealth?
Rohita is the lord of heaven.
With Rohita touch your own body.
Rigveda
Divine figure asked to yoke the ruddy mares and bay steeds and bring the gods to the sacrifice.
Yoke the ruddy mares to the chariot and the bay steeds, O divine Rohita.
