Rig Veda 2.28.4: Mandala 2, Sukta 28, Mantra 4
Sukta 2.28
प्र सीमादित्यो असृजद्विधर्ताँ ऋतं सिन्धवो वरुणस्य यन्ति । न श्राम्यन्ति न वि मुचन्त्येते वयो न पप्तू रघुया परिज्मन् ॥
prá sīm ādityó asṛjad vi-dhártāṃ ṛtáṃ síndhavo váruṇasya yanti | ná śrāmyanti ná ví mucanty eté váyo ná paptū raghu-yā́ pári-jman ||
The Āditya, the disposer, has sent them forth: the rivers move in the Truth; they go in the way of Varuṇa. They do not tire, they do not loosen their course; like birds they fly swift in their circling journey—obedient to the law within movement.
