Rig Veda 5.12.2 — Mandala 5, Sukta 12, Mantra 2
Sukta 5.12
ऋतं चिकित्व ऋतमिच्चिकिद्ध्यृतस्य धारा अनु तृन्धि पूर्वीः । नाहं यातुं सहसा न द्वयेन ऋतं सपाम्यरुषस्य वृष्णः ॥
ṛtáṃ cikitva ṛtám íc cíkiddhy ṛtásya dhārā́ ánu tṛndhi pūrvī́ḥ | nā́haṃ yātúṃ sáhasā ná dváyena ṛtáṃ sapāmy aruṣásya vṛ́ṣṇaḥ ||
Wahai yang mengetahui, ketahuilah Ṛta; ketahuilah sungguh Ṛta; belahlah jalanmu mengikuti banyak aliran purba Ṛta. Aku tak mampu mencapainya dengan paksaan, pun bukan dengan cara ganda yang terbelah; aku menapaki dan meraih Ṛta dari Sang Banteng Merah—Agni, daya api yang menyala.
