Rig Veda 5.48.4: Mandala 5, Sukta 48, Mantra 4
Sukta 5.48
तामस्य रीतिं परशोरिव प्रत्यनीकमख्यं भुजे अस्य वर्पसः । सचा यदि पितुमन्तमिव क्षयं रत्नं दधाति भरहूतये विशे ॥
tā́m asya rītíṃ paraśór iva práty anī́kam akhyaṃ bhujé asya várpasaḥ | sacā́ yádi pitumántam iva kṣáyaṃ rátnam dádhāti bhárahūtaye viśé ||
Seinen Lauf erblicke ich — wie den Hieb einer Axt — von Angesicht zu Angesicht: seine Vorderseite leuchtender Gestalt. Und wenn er den Schatz in eine nährende Wohnstatt legt, dann richtet er für den Stamm, der um Beistand ruft, die Gabe auf.
