Rig Veda 2.28.4: Mandala 2, Sukta 28, Mantra 4

Sukta 2.28

Rishi: Gṛtsamada (Bhārgava)
Devata: Varuṇa / Āditya as cosmic disposer; rivers as manifestations under ṛta
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

प्र सीमादित्यो असृजद्विधर्ताँ ऋतं सिन्धवो वरुणस्य यन्ति । न श्राम्यन्ति न वि मुचन्त्येते वयो न पप्तू रघुया परिज्मन् ॥

prá sīm ādityó asṛjad vi-dhártāṃ ṛtáṃ síndhavo váruṇasya yanti | ná śrāmyanti ná ví mucanty eté váyo ná paptū raghu-yā́ pári-jman ||

Āditya, sang pengatur, telah melepaskan mereka: sungai-sungai bergerak dalam Ṛta; mereka menempuh jalan Varuṇa. Mereka tidak letih, tidak melonggarkan haluan; seperti burung mereka terbang pantas dalam perjalanan yang beredar—patuh kepada hukum yang mengatur gerak.
