Dridheyu, Riteyu, illustrious Parivyadha, Ekata, Dvita, and Trita, the last three gifted with solar effulgence, and Atri's son of righteous soul, viz., the Rishi Sarasvata, these seven who had acted as Ritvijas in the great sacrifice of Varuna, have taken up their abodes in the Western quarter.
दृढेयुश्च ऋतेयुश्च परिव्याधश्च कीर्तिमान्। एकतश्च द्वितश्चैव त्रितश्चादित्यसंनिभाः॥ अत्रेः पुत्रश्च धर्मात्मा ऋषिः सारस्वतस्तथा। वरुणस्यविजः सप्त पश्चिमां दिशमाश्रिताः॥
