Rig Veda 1.164.33: Mandala 1, Sukta 164, Mantra 33
Sukta 1.164
द्यौर्मे पिता जनिता नाभिरत्र बन्धुर्मे माता पृथिवी महीयम् । उत्तानयोश्चम्वोर्योनिरन्तरत्रा पिता दुहितुर्गर्भमाधात् ॥
dyáur me pitā́ janitā́ nā́bhir átra bándhur me mātā́ pṛthivī́ mahī́yám | uttānayóś camvòr yónir antár atrā pitā́ duhítur gárbham ā́dhāt ||
Heaven is my Father, the begetter; here is the navel-centre. Earth, the vast, is my Mother, my kin. Between the two outstretched bowls is the womb; there the Father set the embryo in the Daughter—thus the worlds are knit by a secret generation.
