Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.113.3

samā́nó ádhvā svasróḥ anantás tám anyā́nyā carato deváśiṣṭe | ná méthēte ná tasthatúḥ suméke náktoṣā́sā́ sámanasā́ virū́pe ||

One is the endless path of the two Sisters; yet each in her own way moves upon that same track, guided by the divine ordinance. They do not clash, they do not halt in one place: Night and Dawn, of one intent, move on—different in form, but joined in a single will.
