Rig Veda 10.68.8: Mandala 10, Sukta 68, Mantra 8
Sukta 10.68
अश्नापिनद्धं मधु पर्यपश्यन्मत्स्यं न दीन उदनि क्षियन्तम् । निष्टज्जभार चमसं न वृक्षाद्बृहस्पतिर्विरवेणा विकृत्य ॥
aśnā́pinaddhaṃ mádhu páry apaśyan mátsyaṃ ná dīné udáni kṣiyántam | níṣ ṭaj-jabhāra cám asaṃ ná vṛkṣā́d bṛ́haspátir ví-ravéṇa ví-kṛtya ||
Er erblickte den Honig, im Stein versiegelt – wie einen Fisch, der in kargem Wasser dahinschwindet. Da riss Bṛhaspati ihn heraus, wie einen Becher aus dem Baum, mit fernhallendem Ruf, der die Gestalt zerbricht.
