Rig Veda 4.36.1: Mandala 4, Sukta 36, Mantra 1
Sukta 4.36
अनश्वो जातो अनभीशुरुक्थ्यो रथस्त्रिचक्रः परि वर्तते रजः । महत्तद्वो देव्यस्य प्रवाचनं द्यामृभवः पृथिवीं यच्च पुष्यथ ॥
anaśvó jātó anabhī́śur ukthyò rathás tri-cakráḥ pári vartate rájaḥ | mahát tád vo devyásya prá-vācanam dyā́m ṛbhavaḥ pṛthivī́ṃ yát ca púṣyatha ||
A chariot is born without horses, without reins, fit for the hymn; with three wheels it moves around through the luminous spaces. Great is this your divine fame, O Rbhus, for you foster and increase both Heaven and Earth (the two planes of our being).
