Rig Veda 1.121.7: Mandala 1, Sukta 121, Mantra 7
Sukta 1.121
स्विध्मा यद्वनधितिरपस्यात्सूरो अध्वरे परि रोधना गोः । यद्ध प्रभासि कृत्व्याँ अनु द्यूननर्विशे पश्विषे तुराय ॥
svi-dhmá̄ yád vana-dhítir apasyá̄t sú̄ro adhvaré pári ródhanā góḥ | yád dha pra-bhá̄si kṛ́tvyāṃ ánu dyú̄n ánarviśe paśv-íṣe turá̄ya ||
When the well-kindled wood (the fuel of aspiration) works out its service, the Sun in the sacrifice moves around the pen of the Cow (the guarded light). And when thou shinest forth, following day after day the forming labour, thou comest for the unbroken increase and the swift gaining of the herds (powers).
