दे॒वो भग॑: सवि॒ता रा॒यो अंश॒ इन्द्रो॑ वृ॒त्रस्य॑ सं॒जितो॒ धना॑नाम् । ऋ॒भु॒क्षा वाज॑ उ॒त वा॒ पुरं॑धि॒रव॑न्तु नो अ॒मृता॑सस्तु॒रास॑: ॥

English translation:
“May the divine Bhaga, Savitā, the lord of wealth, Aṃśa, Indra (the slayer) of Vṛtra, (all) the conquerors of riches, Ṛbhukṣin, Vāja and also Purandhi, immortals, hastening (to our sacrifice) preserve us.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Ṛbhukṣin: a name of Indra, but here it implies Ṛbhu, while Purandhi = Vibhu, making, with Vāja, the triad. Aṃśa is an apparent reference to Soma
