Rig Veda 10.72.4: Mandala 10, Sukta 72, Mantra 4
Sukta 10.72
भूर्जज्ञ उत्तानपदो भुव आशा अजायन्त । अदितेर्दक्षो अजायत दक्षाद्वदितिः परि ॥
bhū́r jajñe uttāná-pado bhúva āśā́ ajāyanta | ádite r dákṣo ajāyata dákṣād v áditiḥ pári ||
Earth was born with the wide-stepping bases; the mid-world came forth and the directions of aspiration were born. From Aditi arose Dakṣa (the forming intelligence), and from Dakṣa again Aditi—Infinity circling back from its own power of right formation.
