Rig Veda 5.56.4: Mandala 5, Sukta 56, Mantra 4
Sukta 5.56
नि ये रिणन्त्योजसा वृथा गावो न दुर्धुरः । अश्मानं चित्स्वर्यं पर्वतं गिरिं प्र च्यावयन्ति यामभिः ॥
ní yé riṇánty ójasā vṛ́thā gā́vo ná durdhúraḥ | áśmānaṃ cit svaryáṃ párvataṃ giríṃ prá cyāvayanti yā́mabhiḥ ||
They drive down with their might, like cattle that cannot be held back. Even the sky-seeking stone, the mountain, the hill—they set it in motion by their courses. So too they dislodge the fixed resistances in us and make the path move.
