Sukta 3.31
नि गव्यता मनसा सेदुरर्कैः कृण्वानासो अमृतत्वाय गातुम् । इदं चिन्नु सदनं भूर्येषां येन मासाँ असिषासन्नृतेन ॥
ní gavyatā́ mánasā sedur arkáiḥ kṛṇvānā́so amṛtatvā́ya gātúm | idáṃ cin nu sádanaṃ bhū́ry eṣāṃ yéna mā́sām̐ ásiṣāsan ṛténa ||
With the mind intent on the luminous herds, they sat down with their hymns, fashioning a path towards immortality. Even this becomes for them a wide dwelling, by that (power) with which they mastered the months through Ṛta.
