Rig Veda 4.6.8: Mandala 4, Sukta 6, Mantra 8
Sukta 4.6
द्विर्यं पञ्च जीजनन्त्संवसानाः स्वसारो अग्निं मानुषीषु विक्षु । उषर्बुधमथर्यो न दन्तं शुक्रं स्वासं परशुं न तिग्मम् ॥
dvír yaṃ páñca jī́janan saṃ-vásānāḥ svásāro agníṃ mā́nuṣīṣu víkṣu | uṣár-búdham atharyó ná dántaṃ śukráṃ sv-ā́saṃ paraśúṃ ná tigmáṃ ||
Zweimal fünf Schwestern, einmütig bekleidet, gebaren Agni unter den Menschensippen – ihn, der mit der Morgenröte erwacht; wie des Atharvan Zahn, glänzend, wohlmundig, wie eine scharfe Axt, schneidend und keenedgig.
