Rig Veda 2.10.5: Mandala 2, Sukta 10, Mantra 5
Sukta 2.10
आ विश्वतः प्रत्यञ्चं जिघर्म्यरक्षसा मनसा तज्जुषेत । मर्यश्रीः स्पृहयद्वर्णो अग्निर्नाभिमृशे तन्वा जर्भुराणः ॥
ā viśvátaḥ prátyañcaṃ jigharmy arakṣásā mánasā tát juṣeta | márya-śrīḥ spṛháyad-varṇo agnír nā́bhimṛ́śe tanvā́ jarbhurā́ṇaḥ ||
From every side I draw toward me (and make intimate) that which turns inward, with a mind free from the Rakṣasa-force; may That consent to be enjoyed. Agni, young in splendour, desiring the hue of light, presses close to the navel-centre with his body, restlessly working to purify and shape the being.
