Rig Veda
pataṅgam aktam asurasya māyayā hṛdā paśyanti manasā vipaścitaḥ samudre antaḥ kavayo vi cakṣate marīcīnām padam icchanti vedhasaḥ
The sapient with their spirit and their mind behold the Bird adorned with all an Asura's magic might. Sages observe him in the ocean's inmost depth: the wise disposers seek the station of his rays.
pataṅgo vācam manasā bibharti tāṃ gandharvo 'vadad garbhe antaḥ tāṃ dyotamānāṃ svaryam manīṣām ṛtasya pade kavayo ni pānti
The flying Bird bears Speech within his spirit: erst the Gandharva in the womb pronounced it: And at the seat of sacrifice the sages cherish this radiant, heavenly-bright invention.
apaśyaṃ gopām anipadyamānam ā ca parā ca pathibhiś carantam sa sadhrīcīḥ sa viṣūcīr vasāna ā varīvarti bhuvaneṣv antaḥ
I saw the Herdsman, him who never resteth, approaching and departing on his pathways. He, clothed in gathered and diffusive splendour, within the worlds continually travels.
