Rig Veda 10.91.5: Mandala 10, Sukta 91, Mantra 5
Sukta 10.91
तव श्रियो वर्ष्यस्येव विद्युतश्चित्राश्चिकित्र उषसां न केतवः । यदोषधीरभिसृष्टो वनानि च परि स्वयं चिनुषे अन्नमास्ये ॥
táva śríyo varṣyásyeva vidyútaś citrā́ś cikitre uṣásāṃ ná ketávaḥ | yád oṣádhīr abhí-sṛṣṭo vánāni ca pár i svayáṃ cinúṣe ánn am ā́sy e ||
Your splendours are many-coloured, like the lightnings of the rain-cloud, like the signals of the Dawns. When you are released upon the herbs and upon the forests, you yourself gather the food into your mouth—taking into you the essence that will become strength in us.
