Rig Veda
paśvā na tāyuṃ guhā catantaṃ namo yujānaṃ namo vahantam
One-minded, wise, they tracked thee like a thief lurking in dark cave with a stolen cow: Thee claiming worship, bearing it to Gods: there nigh to thee sate all the Holy Ones.
ṛtasya devā anu vratā gur bhuvat pariṣṭir dyaur na bhūma
The Gods approached the ways of holy Law; there was a gathering vast as heaven itself. The waters feed with praise the growing Babe, born nobly in the womb, the seat of Law.
puṣṭir na raṇvā kṣitir na pṛthvī girir na bhujma kṣodo na śambhu
Like grateful food, like some wide dwelling place, like a fruit-bearing hill, a wholesome stream. Like a steed urged to run in swift career, rushing like Sindhu, who may check his course?
jāmiḥ sindhūnām bhrāteva svasrām ibhyān na rājā vanāny atti
Kin as a brother to his sister floods, he eats the woods as a King eats the rich. When through the forest, urged by wind, he spreads, verily Agni shears the hair of earth.
śvasity apsu haṃso na sīdan kratvā cetiṣṭho viśām uṣarbhut
Like a swan sitting in the floods he pants wisest in mind mid men he wakes at morn. A Sage like Soma, sprung from Law, he grew like some young creature, mighty, shining far.
