Rig Veda
tasya pūṣā prasave yāti vidvān saṃpaśyan viśvā bhuvanāni gopāḥ
Savitar, golden-haired, hath lifted eastward, bright With the sunbeams, his eternal lustre; He in whose energy wise Pushan marches, surveying all existence like a herdsman.
nṛcakṣā eṣa divo madhya āsta āpaprivān rodasī antarikṣam sa viśvācīr abhi caṣṭe ghṛtācīr antarā pūrvam aparaṃ ca ketum
Beholding men he sits amid the heaven filling the two world-halves and air's wide region. He looks upon the rich far-spreading pastures between the eastern and the western limit.
rāyo budhnaḥ saṃgamano vasūnāṃ viśvā rūpābhi caṣṭe śacībhiḥ deva iva savitā satyadharmendro na tasthau samare dhanānām
He, root of wealth, the gatherer-up of treasures, looks with his might on every form and figure. Savitar, like a God whose Law is constant, stands in the battle for the spoil like Indra.
viśvāvasuṃ soma gandharvam āpo dadṛśuṣīs tad ṛtenā vy āyan tad anvavaid indro rārahāṇa āsām pari sūryasya paridhīṃr apaśyat
Waters from sacrifice came to the Gandharva Visvavasu, O Soma, when they saw him. Indra, approaching quickly, marked their going, and looked around upon the Sun's enclosures.
viśvāvasur abhi tan no gṛṇātu divyo gandharvo rajaso vimānaḥ yad vā ghā satyam uta yan na vidma dhiyo hinvāno dhiya in no avyāḥ
This song Visvavasu shall sing us, meter of air's mid-realm celestial Gandharva, That we may know aright both truth and falsehood: may he inspire our thoughts and help our praises.
sasnim avindac caraṇe nadīnām apāvṛṇod duro aśmavrajānām prāsāṃ gandharvo amṛtāni vocad indro dakṣam pari jānād ahīnām
In the floods' track he found the booty seeker: the rocky cow-pen's doors he threw wide open. These, the Gandharva told him, Rowed with Amrita. Indra knew well the puissance of the dragons.
