The god Varuna, the son of Aditi, said to that scion Bhrigu's race Be it so! Whenever you will seek, the horses shall come. As soon as Richika thought of them, there came from the waters of Ganga a thousand highborn horses, as effulgent as the moon.
तथेति वरुणो देव आदित्यो भृगुसत्तमम्। उवाच यत्र ते च्छन्दस्तत्रोत्थास्यन्ति वाजिनः॥ ध्यातमात्र ऋचीकेन हयानां चन्द्रवर्चसाम्। गङ्गाजलात् समुत्तस्थौ सहस्रं विपुलौजसाम्॥
