Rig Veda 1.95.4: Mandala 1, Sukta 95, Mantra 4

Sukta 1.95

Devata: Enigmatic hidden ‘child/seer’ principle (often read as Agni in the waters / the concealed fire / or the solar child)

क इमं वो निण्यमा चिकेत वत्सो मातॄर्जनयत स्वधाभिः । बह्वीनां गर्भो अपसामुपस्थान्महान्कविर्निश्चरति स्वधावान् ॥

ká imáṃ vo niṇyám ā́ ciketa vatsó mātṝ́r janayat svadhā́bhiḥ | bahvīnā́ṃ gárbho apásām upásthān mahā́n kavír níś carati svadhā́vān ||

Siapa yang telah menangkap bagimu rahasia yang tersembunyi ini—bahwa anak lembu itu melahirkan para ibu dengan daya-daya svadhā-nya? Janin dari banyak karya, dari pangkuan perairan, sang resi agung melangkah keluar, berswadha, bertata-hukum sendiri.
