Rig Veda 9.85.12: Mandala 9, Sukta 85, Mantra 12
Sukta 9.85
ऊर्ध्वो गन्धर्वो अधि नाके अस्थाद्विश्वा रूपा प्रतिचक्षाणो अस्य । भानुः शुक्रेण शोचिषा व्यद्यौत्प्रारूरुचद्रोदसी मातरा शुचिः ॥
ūrdhvó gandharvó ádhi nā́ke asthād víśvā rūpā́ prati-cákṣāṇo asya | bhā́nūḥ śukréṇa śóciṣā vy àdyaut prā́rūrucad ródasī mātárā śúciḥ ||
Tegak, sang Gandharva telah menempatkan dirinya di puncak langit, memandang segala rupa dari perwujudan ini. Dengan nyala terang dari cahaya yang murni, sinarnya memancar luas; ia membuat dua Ibu—Langit dan Bumi—bersinar dalam kesucian.
