Rig Veda 9.71.8: Mandala 9, Sukta 71, Mantra 8
Sukta 9.71
त्वेषं रूपं कृणुते वर्णो अस्य स यत्राशयत्समृता सेधति स्रिधः । अप्सा याति स्वधया दैव्यं जनं सं सुष्टुती नसते सं गोअग्रया ॥
tveṣáṁ rūpáṁ kṛṇute várṇo asya sá yátrāśayat samṛtā́ sédhati srídhaḥ | apsā́ yāti svadháyā daivyáṁ jánaṁ sáṁ suṣṭutī́ násate sáṁ goágrayā ||
He makes for himself a keen and blazing form; his colour becomes intense. Where he has lain, made whole by the right joining, there he repels the breakers of harmony. He goes in the waters by his own inner law to the divine people; with perfect praise he draws near, and with the foremost rays he gathers into unity.
