Rig Veda 5.85.5: Mandala 5, Sukta 85, Mantra 5
Sukta 5.85
इमामू ष्वासुरस्य श्रुतस्य महीं मायां वरुणस्य प्र वोचम् । मानेनेव तस्थिवाँ अन्तरिक्षे वि यो ममे पृथिवीं सूर्येण ॥
imā́m ū̀ ṣvā́surasya śrutásya mahī́ṃ māyā́ṃ váruṇasya prá vocam | mā́nena-iva tasthivā́ṃ antárikṣe ví yó mamé pṛthivī́ṃ sū́ryeṇa ||
Kini kuucapkan karya agung Varuṇa, sang Asura yang termasyhur-jauh: ia berdiri di ruang-antara seakan dengan tongkat ukur; dan ia mengukur bumi dengan Matahari—menegakkan ukuran yang benar dalam hidup oleh cahaya kebenaran, agar keberadaan tertata menurut ṛta.
