c7.s2.3

The steed Dadhikrāvan is praised when Agni is kindled at the dawning of Uṣas (4, 39³). He is invoked with the Dawns (ib.¹. 40¹), who are prayed to turn to the sacrifice like Dadhikrāvan (7, 41⁶). He is regularly invoked with Uṣas, nearly as often with Agni, less frequently with the Aśvins and Sūrya, sometimes with other deities also (3, 20¹· ⁵; 7, 44¹⁻⁴; 10, 101¹); but Dadhikrā is invoked first (7, 44¹).
