Rig Veda 1.152.3: Mandala 1, Sukta 152, Mantra 3
Sukta 1.152
अपादेति प्रथमा पद्वतीनां कस्तद्वां मित्रावरुणा चिकेत । गर्भो भारं भरत्या चिदस्य ऋतं पिपर्त्यनृतं नि तारीत् ॥
apā́d eti prathamā́ padvátīnāṃ kás tád vāṃ mitrāvaruṇā́ ciketā | gárbho bhāráṃ bharaty ā́ cid asya ṛtáṃ pipárty anṛ́taṃ ní tārīt ||
Footless it moves, first among all that have feet—who has understood this of you, O Mitra and Varuṇa? The hidden embryo bears its load; it fills out the Right and drives down the Unright.
