Rig Veda 7.88.4: Mandala 7, Sukta 88, Mantra 4
Sukta 7.88
वसिष्ठं ह वरुणो नाव्याधादृषिं चकार स्वपा महोभिः । स्तोतारं विप्रः सुदिनत्वे अह्नां यान्नु द्यावस्ततनन्यादुषासः ॥
vásiṣṭhaṃ ha váruṇo nā́vy ā́dhād ṛ́ṣiṃ cakāra svápā́ máhobhiḥ | stotā́raṃ vípraḥ sudínatve ahnā́ṃ yā́n nu dyā́vas tátanan yā́d uṣā́saḥ ||
Varuṇa indeed placed Vasiṣṭha in the boat and by his mighty workings made him a seer—one of good action. The inspired one became a singer for the bright days, for the widenesses that the heavens spread out, and for the dawns that continually arrive.
