Rig Veda 6.8.2: Mandala 6, Sukta 8, Mantra 2
Sukta 6.8
स जायमानः परमे व्योमनि व्रतान्यग्निर्व्रतपा अरक्षत । व्यन्तरिक्षममिमीत सुक्रतुर्वैश्वानरो महिना नाकमस्पृशत् ॥
sá jā́yamānaḥ paramé vyòmani vratā́ny agnír vratapā́ arakṣata | vy àntárikṣam amimīta sukrátur vaiśvānaráḥ mahínā nā́kam aspṛśat ||
Being born in the highest wide space, Agni the keeper of the law guarded the laws. With wise power he measured out the mid-region; Vaiśvānara by his greatness touched the heaven—bringing the human vessel into contact with the summit-plane.
