Rig Veda 3.1.10: Mandala 3, Sukta 1, Mantra 10

Sukta 3.1

Rishi: Viśvāmitra Gāthina
Devata: Agni
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

पितुश्च गर्भं जनितुश्च बभ्रे पूर्वीरेको अधयत्पीप्यानाः । वृष्णे सपत्नी शुचये सबन्धू उभे अस्मै मनुष्ये नि पाहि ॥

pitúś ca gárbhaṃ janitúś ca babhre pūrvī́r éko adhayat pī́pyānāḥ | vṛ́ṣṇe sapatnī́ śúcaye sábandhū ubhé asmai manuṣyé ní pāhi ||

Ia menanggung janin Sang Bapa dan Sang Pembangkit; seorang diri ia membuat banyak kuasa itu minum, hingga penuh membesar. Dua saudari, bersaing namun seasal, bagi Sang Banteng, bagi Yang Suci—keduanya, peliharalah bagi insan ini penetapan yang benar.
