Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Vadhryaśva, a Vedic sage protected by Mitra and Varuṇa.
You who protect Bharadvāja and Vadhryaśva, Viśvāmitra, O Varuṇa and Mitra, and Kutsa;
Rigveda
Human patron/sacrificer for whom the Agni hymn is composed; his fire and clan are praised.
Always Agni has overcome the enemies of Vādhrya-aśva with men who press Soma;
That you whom Vādhrya-aśva, the praised one, first kindled, O Agni — may he now take delight in this;
This Agni of Vādhrya-aśva, the Vṛtra-slayer, kindled of old, to be invoked with reverence — may he stand over our non-kinsmen and kinsmen alike;
