Rig Veda 9.86.42: Mandala 9, Sukta 86, Mantra 42
Sukta 9.86
सो अग्रे अह्नां हरिर्हर्यतो मदः प्र चेतसा चेतयते अनु द्युभिः । द्वा जना यातयन्नन्तरीयते नरा च शंसं दैव्यं च धर्तरि ॥
só agré ahnā́ṃ hárir haryató mádaḥ prá cetasā cetayatát ánu dyúbhiḥ | dvā́ jánā yātáyann antárīyate nárā ca śáṃsaṃ daivyáṃ ca dhártari ||
He, the bright one, at the front of the days—an ecstasy that drives the shining—awakens by the conscious mind and follows the lights. Between the two peoples he moves, guiding them: the human utterance and the divine hymn are held together in the bearer.
