Rig Veda 2.18.2: Mandala 2, Sukta 18, Mantra 2
Sukta 2.18
सास्मा अरं प्रथमं स द्वितीयमुतो तृतीयं मनुषः स होता । अन्यस्या गर्भमन्य ऊ जनन्त सो अन्येभिः सचते जेन्यो वृषा ॥
sā́smā áraṃ prathamáṃ sá dvitī́yam utó tṛtī́yaṃ mánuṣaḥ sá hótā | anyásyā gárbham anyá ū́ jananta só anyébhiḥ sacate jényo vṛ́ṣā ||
He is fit for this first, he for the second, and also for the third: he is the human Hotar within. One begets the womb of another; and he, the noble Bull, consorts with the others—joining powers into a single working.
