Sukta 5.40
ग्राव्णो ब्रह्मा युयुजानः सपर्यन्कीरिणा देवान्नमसोपशिक्षन् । अत्रिः सूर्यस्य दिवि चक्षुराधात्स्वर्भानोरप माया अघुक्षत् ॥
grā́vṇo brahmā́ yuyujānás saparyán kīríṇā devā́n námasopáśikṣan | átriḥ sū́ryasya diví cákṣur ā́dhāt svàr-bhānor ápa māyā́ adhukṣat ||
El sacerdote brahmán, poniendo a obrar las piedras del prensado, rindiendo culto, instruyendo a los dioses con la adoración y el himno—Atri asentó en el cielo el ojo del Sol y ordeñó, apartándolos, los engaños de Svarbhānu.
