Rig Veda 1.164.6: Mandala 1, Sukta 164, Mantra 6
Sukta 1.164
अचिकित्वाञ्चिकितुषश्चिदत्र कवीन्पृच्छामि विद्मने न विद्वान् । वि यस्तस्तम्भ षळिमा रजांस्यजस्य रूपे किमपि स्विदेकम् ॥
ácikitvāñ cikituṣáś cid átra kavī́n pṛcchāmi vidmáne ná vidvā́n | ví yás tastámbha ṣáḷ imā́ rájāṃsy ajásya rūpé kím ápi svíd ékam ||
Not understanding, I question even the understanders here—the seers—so that I may come to knowing, though I am not yet a knower. He who has propped apart these six regions—what single thing, perhaps, is that in the form of the Unborn?
