Atharva Veda 9.10.15: Kanda 9, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 10, Mantra 15
Sukta 10
न वि जा॑नामि॒ यदि॑वे॒दमस्मि॑ नि॒ण्यः संन॑द्धो॒ मन॑सा चरामि । य॒दा माग॑न् प्रथम॒जा ऋ॒तस्यादिद् वा॒चो अ॑श्नुवे भा॒गम॒स्याः
ná ví jānāmi yádīvé́dam ásmi ninýāḥ sánnaddho mánasā cárāmi | yadā́ mā́gān prathamajā́ ṛtásyā́did vā́co aśnuvé bhāgám asyā́ḥ ||
I know not clearly whether I be even this: hidden, close-bound, I wander with the mind. When to me came the first-born of ṛta, then verily I attained a portion of this Speech.
मैं खुद को सही में नहीं जानता, मैं कौन हूँ, क्या हूँ। मैं छुपा हुआ हूँ, मन से घूम रहा हूँ। जब पहली बार सच्चाई का रूप मिला, तब मुझे भी बात का हिस्सा मिला।
