Rig Veda 4.30.24
Sanskrit text [Accents, Plain, Transliterated]:
वा॒मंवा॑मं त आदुरे दे॒वो द॑दात्वर्य॒मा । वा॒मं पू॒षा वा॒मं भगो॑ वा॒मं दे॒वः करू॑ळती ॥
वामंवामं त आदुरे देवो ददात्वर्यमा । वामं पूषा वामं भगो वामं देवः करूळती ॥
vāmaṃ-vāmaṃ ta ādure devo dadātv aryamā | vāmam pūṣā vāmam bhago vāmaṃ devaḥ karūḻatī ||
English translation:
“Destroyer of foes, may the divine Aryaman distribute your precious wealth; (may) Pūṣa (bestow it), (may), Bhaga (bestow it); may the toothless deity bestow the desired wealth.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
The text has: vāmam pūṣā vāmam bhago vāmam devaḥ karūḷatī: the triple repetition of vāma, vananīyam, dhanam would seem to separate not only Bhaga, but Karu.latī from Pūṣan;
Karūḷatī = kṛttadanta or adantaka, the broken-toothed, or toothless, this term seems to apply to Pūṣan; the legend: pūṣā prapiṣṭabhāgo adantako hityādi śrutiṣu (Taittirīya Saṃhitā 2.6.8.5); Viṣṇu Purāṇa, 67 has Pūṣan whose teeth were knocked out by Vīrabhadra's followers at Dakṣa's sacrifice
