Rig Veda 8.21.6: Mandala 8, Sukta 21, Mantra 6
Sukta 8.21
अच्छा च त्वैना नमसा वदामसि किं मुहुश्चिद्वि दीधयः । सन्ति कामासो हरिवो ददिष्ट्वं स्मो वयं सन्ति नो धियः ॥
ácchā ca tvā enā námasā vádāmasi kím múhuś cid ví dīdhayaḥ | sánti kā́māso harivo dadíṣ ṭváṃ smó vayáṃ sánti no dhíyaḥ ||
Toward thee we speak with this reverence: why should we again and again be scattered in our thoughts? For desires are here, O lord of the tawny steeds; thou art the giver—and in us too there are thoughts that can become luminous.
