Rig Veda 10.8.2: Mandala 10, Sukta 8, Mantra 2
Sukta 10.8
मुमोद गर्भो वृषभः ककुद्मानस्रेमा वत्सः शिमीवाँ अरावीत् । स देवतात्युद्यतानि कृण्वन्त्स्वेषु क्षयेषु प्रथमो जिगाति ॥
mumóda gárbho vṛṣabháḥ kakúdmān asremā́ vátsaḥ śimī́vān arāvīt | sá devátāty úd-yatāni kṛṇván svéṣu kṣáyeṣu prathamó jigāti ||
The embryo rejoiced—the bull with the high crest; the unwearying calf, strong in impulse, cried aloud. He, making the upsurging movements toward the divine host, goes first into his own dwellings: Agni leads the way for the gods within us.
