Rig Veda 1.121.2: Mandala 1, Sukta 121, Mantra 2
Sukta 1.121
स्तम्भीद्ध द्यां स धरुणं प्रुषायदृभुर्वाजाय द्रविणं नरो गोः । अनु स्वजां महिषश्चक्षत व्रां मेनामश्वस्य परि मातरं गोः ॥
stambhī́ddha dyā́ṃ sá dharúṇaṃ pruṣāyad ṛbhúrvājā́ya dráviṇaṃ náro góḥ | ánu svajā́ṃ mahiṣáś cakṣata vrā́ṃ ménām áśvasya pári mātáraṃ góḥ ||
Er stützte den Himmel und setzte die feste Grundlage; der Ṛbhu presste den Schatz zur Fülle heraus – der Mann der Kuh. Der Mächtige erblickte das Selbstgeborene; er sah Menā, die weitwirkende – er umschloss die Mutter der Kuh, den verborgenen Ursprung der Stute.
