Rig Veda 1.164.47: Mandala 1, Sukta 164, Mantra 47
Sukta 1.164
कृष्णं नियानं हरयः सुपर्णा अपो वसाना दिवमुत्पतन्ति । त आववृत्रन्त्सदनादृतस्यादिद्घृतेन पृथिवी व्युद्यते ॥
kṛṣṇáṃ niyā́naṃ háryaḥ suparṇā́ apó vásānā divám út patanti | tá āvavṛtrán sádānād ṛtásyā́did ghṛténa pr̥thivī́ vyùdyate ||
Die fahlen, schönbeflügelten Mächte, in Wasser gehüllt, fliegen aus dem dunklen Abstieg zum Himmel empor. Sie haben sich vom Sitz des ṛta abgewandt; und dann leuchtet die Erde hervor, gesalbt mit dem geklärten Licht (ghṛta).
