Rig Veda 2.38.1: Mandala 2, Sukta 38, Mantra 1
Sukta 2.38
उदु ष्य देवः सविता सवाय शश्वत्तमं तदपा वह्निरस्थात् । नूनं देवेभ्यो वि हि धाति रत्नमथाभजद्वीतिहोत्रं स्वस्तौ ॥
údu ṣyá deváḥ savitā́ savā́ya śaśvat-tamáṃ tád apā́ vahnír asthāt | nūnáṃ devébhyo ví hí dhāti rátnam áthā́bhajad vīti-hótraṃ svastáu ||
Up rises that god Savitṛ for the impulsion; the ever-lasting working—like a carrier of waters—has taken its stand. Now he distributes the treasure to the gods; then he apportions the well-invited offering in the movement of well-being.
