Rig Veda 5.47.5: Mandala 5, Sukta 47, Mantra 5

Sukta 5.47

Rishi: Atri (Ātreya tradition)
Devata: Cosmic duality and waters/rivers as symbolic carriers; underlying principle of manifested form (vapuḥ)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; confirm in critical edition)

इदं वपुर्निवचनं जनासश्चरन्ति यन्नद्यस्तस्थुरापः । द्वे यदीं बिभृतो मातुरन्ये इहेह जाते यम्या सबन्धू ॥

idáṃ vápur ni-vácanaṃ janā́saś cáranti yán nádyas tasthúr ā́paḥ | dvé yád īṃ bibhṛtó mātúr anyé ihéha jāté yamyā́ sàbandhū ||

Bentuk ini, sabda yang mendalam ini—manusia bergerak di dalamnya: sungai-sungai telah berdiri sebagai air. Ketika dua menanggungnya dari Sang Ibu, yang lain lahir di sini dan di sini sebagai kerabat kembar. Demikian satu kenyataan tampak terbelah dalam gerak, namun terikat oleh kekerabatan batin dari asal yang sama.
