Rig Veda 10.61.5: Mandala 10, Sukta 61, Mantra 5
Sukta 10.61
प्रथिष्ट यस्य वीरकर्ममिष्णदनुष्ठितं नु नर्यो अपौहत् । पुनस्तदा वृहति यत्कनाया दुहितुरा अनुभृतमनर्वा ॥
práthīṣṭha yásya vīrákarmam iṣṇád anuṣṭhítaṃ nú naryó ápauhat | púnas tádā́ vṛhati yát kanā́yā duhítur ā́ anubhṛ́tam anarvā́ ||
Broad-based is his heroic work, set in motion and firmly carried out; the manly power drives away what obstructs. Yet again he brings it to growth—what had been borne along from the maiden, from the daughter—so the unfallen force restores the continuity of the creation.
