Rig Veda 12.1

हिरण्यगर्भः समवर्तताग्रे भूतस्य जातः पतिरेक आसीत् । स दाधार पृथिवीं द्यामुतेमां कस्मै देवाय हविषा विधेम ॥

hiranyagarbhah samavartatagre bhutasya jatah patir eka asit | sa dadhara prithivim dyam utemam kasmai devaya havisha vidhema

In the beginning arose the Golden Embryo — he was the one born lord of all that exists. He established the earth and this sky. To which god shall we offer our sacrifice?

प्रारम्भ में हिरण्यगर्भ प्रकट हुए — जो अस्तित्व के एक मात्र पति होकर जन्मे। उन्होंने पृथ्वी और इस द्यौ को धारण किया। किस देव को हम हवि से पूजें?
