Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.164.6

RV 1.164.6

अचिकित्वाञ् चिकितुषश् चिद् अत्र कवीन् पृच्छामि विद्मने न विद्वान् । वि यस् तस्तम्भ षळ् इमा रजांस्य् अजस्य रूपे किम् अपि स्विद् एकम् ॥

acikitvāñ cikituṣaś cid atra kavīn pṛcchāmi vidmane na vidvān | vi yas tastambha ṣaḷ imā rajāṃsy ajasya rūpe kim api svid ekam ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

I ask, unknowing, those who know, the sages, as one all ignorant for sake of knowledge, What was that ONE who in the Unborn's image hath stablished and fixed firm these worlds' six regions.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
