Rig Veda 1.32.8: Mandala 1, Sukta 32, Mantra 8
Sukta 1.32
नदं न भिन्नममुया शयानं मनो रुहाणा अति यन्त्यापः । याश्चिद्वृत्रो महिना पर्यतिष्ठत्तासामहिः पत्सुतःशीर्बभूव ॥
nadáṃ na bhinnám amuyā́ śáyānaṃ máno ruhā́ṇā áti yánty ā́paḥ | yā́ś cid vṛtró mahinā́ paryátiṣṭhat tā́sām áhiḥ patsutáḥśīr babhūva ||
Wie ein Strom, dessen Damm gebrochen ist, gehen die Wasser an ihm vorüber, während er dort liegt; gleichsam im Geist steigen sie auf und wogen darüber hin. Selbst jene Wasser, die Vṛtra mit seiner Macht ringsum festgehalten hatte — aus ihnen wurde die Schlange zu einem Staubhaufen zu Füßen.
