ऋग्वेद 10.177 (श्लोक 1) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

पतंगमक्तमसुरस्य मायया हृदा पश्यन्ति मनसा विपश्चितः । समुद्रे अन्तः कवयो वि चक्षते मरीचीनां पदमिच्छन्ति वेधसः ॥

pataṃgamaktamasurasya māyayā hṛdā paśyanti manasā vipaścitaḥ | samudre antaḥ kavayo vi cakṣate marīcīnāṃ padamicchanti vedhasaḥ ||

The wise behold their mind; (seated) in their heart the Sun made manifest by the illusion of the asura;the sages look into the solar orb, the ordainers (of solar worship) desire the region of his rays.

पतंगो वाचं मनसा बिभर्ति तां गन्धर्वोऽवदद्गर्भे अन्तः । तां द्योतमानां स्वर्यं मनीषामृतस्य पदे कवयो नि पान्ति ॥

pataṃgo vācaṃ manasā bibharti tāṃ gandharvo'vadadgarbhe antaḥ | tāṃ dyotamānāṃ svaryaṃ manīṣāmṛtasya pade kavayo ni pānti ||

The Sun bears the (sacred) word in his mind the Gandharva has spoken it, (abiding) within the womb;sages cherish it in the plural ce of sacrifice, brilliant, heavenly ruling the mind.

अपश्यं गोपामनिपद्यमानमा च परा च पथिभिश्चरन्तम् । स सध्रीचीः स विषूचीर्वसान आ वरीवर्ति भुवनेष्वन्तः ॥

apaśyaṃ gopāmanipadyamānamā ca parā ca pathibhiścarantam | sa sadhrīcīḥ sa viṣūcīrvasāna ā varīvarti bhuvaneṣvantaḥ ||

I beheld the protector (the Sun), never descending, going by his paths to the east and to the west;clothing (with light) the (four) quarters of heaven and the intermediate spaces, he constantly revolves in the midstof the worlds.
