Sukta 10.177
पतंगो वाचं मनसा बिभर्ति तां गन्धर्वोऽवदद्गर्भे अन्तः । तां द्योतमानां स्वर्यं मनीषामृतस्य पदे कवयो नि पान्ति ॥
pataṅgó vā́caṃ mánasā bibharti tā́ṃ gandharvó ’vadad gárbhe antáḥ | tā́ṃ dyótamānāṃ svaryàṃ manīṣā́m ṛtásya padé kaváyo ní pānti ||
The Winged One bears the Word in the mind; the Gandharva spoke it within the womb of things. That shining, sun-bright inspiration the seers guard and drink in at the station of Ṛta (the Truth-Order).
