Rig Veda 8.21.14: Mandala 8, Sukta 21, Mantra 14
Sukta 8.21
नकी रेवन्तं सख्याय विन्दसे पीयन्ति ते सुराश्वः । यदा कृणोषि नदनुं समूहस्यादित्पितेव हूयसे ॥
nákī revántaṃ sakhyā́ya vindase pī́yanti te surā́śvaḥ | yadā́ kṛṇóṣi nadanúṃ samū́hasy ā́dit pitā́iva hūyase ||
None finds a more splendid friend than thee; thy bright-steeded powers drink of thee. When thou makest the roaring surge and gatherest it into one, then indeed thou art called like a father—because thou buildest the oneness that shelters.
