Rig Veda 2.13.3: Mandala 2, Sukta 13, Mantra 3
Sukta 2.13
अन्वेको वदति यद्ददाति तद्रूपा मिनन्तदपा एक ईयते । विश्वा एकस्य विनुदस्तितिक्षते यस्ताकृणोः प्रथमं सास्युक्थ्यः ॥
anvéko vadati yád dadā́ti tád rūpā́ minán tád-apā́ eka īyate | viśvā́ ékasya vi-núdas titikṣate yás tā́kṛṇoḥ prathamáṃ sá āsy ukthyáḥ ||
One follows and declares what he gives; yet he alters the forms of that gift. One alone moves as the waters themselves. All the repulsions and thrusts against the One are borne and endured by him—he who first shaped those powers; he indeed is the true subject of the hymn.
