Rig Veda 5.85.6: Mandala 5, Sukta 85, Mantra 6
Sukta 5.85
इमामू नु कवितमस्य मायां महीं देवस्य नकिरा दधर्ष । एकं यदुद्ना न पृणन्त्येनीरासिञ्चन्तीरवनयः समुद्रम् ॥
imā́m ū̀ nú kavítamasya māyā́ṃ mahī́ṃ devásya nákir ā́ dadharṣa | ékaṃ yád udnā́ ná pṛṇanty énīr āsiñcántīr avánayaḥ samudrám ||
Eis agora esta grande māyā, o poder formador do deus que tudo vê — ninguém a dominou. O Único Oceano não é preenchido pelos rios, embora incessantemente derramem suas águas: assim o Ilimitado recolhe todas as correntes sem se esgotar — a infinitude de Varuṇa as contém e preserva a ordem do r̥ta.
