Sukta 4.13
वहिष्ठेभिर्विहरन्यासि तन्तुमवव्ययन्नसितं देव वस्म । दविध्वतो रश्मयः सूर्यस्य चर्मेवावाधुस्तमो अप्स्वन्तः ॥
vahiṣṭhébhir vi-háran yāsi tántum ava-vyáyan ásitaṃ deva vásma | davídhvato raśmáyaḥ sū́ryasya cármevāvā́dhus támo apsv àntaḥ ||
With the most puissant bearers you move forth, weaving downward the thread; O luminous Power, you cast off the black covering. The rays of the Sun, striking and cleaving, have driven the darkness down, as a hide is stripped away, into the inner waters.
