Sukta 10
अपादेति प्रथमा पद्वतीनां कस्तद् वां मित्रावरुणा चिकेत । गर्भो भारं भरत्या चिदस्या ऋतं पिपर्त्यनृतं नि पाति
ápā́deti prathamā́ padvátīnām kás tád vā́m mitrāvaruṇā́ ciketa | gárbho bhāráṃ bharaty ā́ cid asyā́ ṛtáṃ pipárty ánṛtaṃ ní pāti
Forth comes the first among the footed forms: who, Mitra-Varuṇa, of you twain hath known that? The embryo bears the burden even of her; it maketh ṛta full, and it keepeth down unṛta.
