Rig Veda 7.79.2: Mandala 7, Sukta 79, Mantra 2
Sukta 7.79
व्यञ्जते दिवो अन्तेष्वक्तून्विशो न युक्ता उषसो यतन्ते । सं ते गावस्तम आ वर्तयन्ति ज्योतिर्यच्छन्ति सवितेव बाहू ॥
vy àñjate divó ánteṣv aktū́n víśo ná yuktā́ uṣáso yatante | sáṃ te gā́vas táma ā́ vartayanti jyótir yácchanti savitéva bāhū́ ||
They extend themselves at the ends of heaven’s nights; like yoked peoples the Dawns strive onward. Thy rays (cows of light) turn back the darkness and hold out the light, as Savitṛ stretches forth his arms of impulsion.
