Atharvaveda 7.26

Of Vishnu now I would speak forth the heroisms, who traversed (vi-mā) the spaces of the earth, who established the upper station, striding out triply, he the wide-going one.

So Vishnu praises forth his heroisms, like a fearful wild beast, wandering, mountain-staying,—
From distant distance may he come hither.—

Upon whose three wide out-stridings dwell all beings.
Widely, O Vishnu, stride out; widely make us to dwell; drink the ghee, O thou ghee-wombed one; prolong the master of the sacrifice on and on.

Here Vishṇu strode out; thrice he set down his steps; [it is] collected in his dust.

Three steps Vishnu strode out, the unharmable shepherd, ordaining (dhṛ) here (itás) [his] ordinances.

Behold ye the deeds of Vishṇu, from where he beholds [your] courses (vratá), [he] Indra's suitable companion.

That highest step of Vishṇu the patrons (sūrí) ever behold, like an eye stretched on the sky.

From the sky, O Vishṇu, or also from the earth; from the great wide atmosphere, O Vishṇu, fill thy hands abundantly with good things; reach forth hither from the right, hither also from the left.
