Rig Veda 4.13.5: Mandala 4, Sukta 13, Mantra 5
Sukta 4.13
अनायतो अनिबद्धः कथायं न्यङ्ङुत्तानोऽव पद्यते न । कया याति स्वधया को ददर्श दिवः स्कम्भः समृतः पाति नाकम् ॥
anā́yato áni-baddhaḥ kathā́yáṃ nyàṅ-uttānó ’va padyate ná | kayā́ yāti svadháyā káḥ dadarśa diváḥ skambháḥ sám-ṛtaḥ pā́ti nā́kam ||
Sin guía, sin atadura: ¿cómo es que éste, vuelto cabeza abajo, no cae hacia abajo? ¿Por qué ley propia (svadhā) se mueve, quién lo ha visto: el Pilar del cielo, trabado en el ṛta, que sostiene la bóveda luminosa?
