Rig Veda 10.124.2: Mandala 10, Sukta 124, Mantra 2
Sukta 10.124
अदेवाद्देवः प्रचता गुहा यन्प्रपश्यमानो अमृतत्वमेमि । शिवं यत्सन्तमशिवो जहामि स्वात्सख्यादरणीं नाभिमेमि ॥
adévād deváḥ prácatā guhā́ yán prápáśyamāno amṛtatvám emi | śiváṁ yát sántam áśivo jahā́mi svā́t sakhyā́d áraṇīṁ nā́bhim emi ||
From the non-god to the God I go, moving with awakened force, journeying in the secret cave, seeing ahead I attain immortality. Leaving the unblissful, though it seemed benign, I pass from my old companionship; I go to the Arani, to the navel—source where the Fire is born.
