English translation:
“With those aids by which you enriched Śucanti, and gave him a handsome habitation, and rendered the scorching heat plural asurable to Atri, and by which you preserved Pṛśnigu and Purukutsa; with them, Aśvins, come willingly hither.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Atri, the patriarch, was thrown by the asuras into a cave with a hundred doors, at all of which fires of chaff were kindled; the fires were extinguished with cold water by the Aśvins; or, Atri = Agni, the eater (attri)of clarified butter, but whose appetite, or intensity, being checked by the heat of the sun in the hot weather, was renovated by the rain sent down by the Aśvins. Pṛṣnigu = pṛṣṇayo gāvo yasya, so named from possessing bridled cows
