Rig Veda 1.31.4: Mandala 1, Sukta 31, Mantra 4
Sukta 1.31
त्वमग्ने मनवे द्यामवाशयः पुरूरवसे सुकृते सुकृत्तरः । श्वात्रेण यत्पित्रोर्मुच्यसे पर्या त्वा पूर्वमनयन्नापरं पुनः ॥
tvám agne mánave dyā́m avāśayaḥ purūrắvase su-kṛ́te su-kṛ́t-taraḥ | śvātréṇa yát pitrór múcyase párī ā́ tvā pū́rvam anayan nā́param púnaḥ ||
O Agni, for Manu you made the heaven a dwelling; for Purūravas, the well-doer, you became the yet greater doer. When by your own strength you are released from your parents, they lead you first around and then again onward—so you may grow into your further work.
