Rig Veda 10.5

तस्माद्विराळजायत विराजो अधि पूरुषः । स जातो अत्यरिच्यत पश्चाद्भूमिमथो पुरः ॥

tasmad virad ajayata virajo adhi purushah | sa jato atyarichyata pashchad bhumim atho purah

From him was born the shining one (Virat), and from Virat the Cosmic Being again. Being born, he extended beyond the earth, both behind and before.

उनसे विराट् जन्मे; विराट् से पुनः पुरुष जन्मे। जन्म लेकर वे भूमि से आगे बढ़े — पीछे और सामने दोनों ओर।
