Rig Veda 7.103.7: Mandala 7, Sukta 103, Mantra 7
Sukta 7.103
ब्राह्मणासो अतिरात्रे न सोमे सरो न पूर्णमभितो वदन्तः । संवत्सरस्य तदहः परि ष्ठ यन्मण्डूकाः प्रावृषीणं बभूव ॥
brāhmaṇā́so atirātré ná sóme sáro ná pūrṇám abhíto vádantaḥ | saṃvatsarásya tád áhar pári ṣṭha yán maṇḍūkāḥ prāvṛṣī́ṇaṃ babhū́va ||
Like brahmins at the Atirātra, like a lake full, they speak all around; that day marks the turning of the year when the frogs become ‘of the rains’: the rite of Time opens again and speech returns into its circle.
