Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.184

विष्णुर् योनिं कल्पयतु त्वष्टा रूपाणि पिंशतु । आ सिञ्चतु प्रजापतिर् धाता गर्भं दधातु ते ॥

viṣṇur yoniṃ kalpayatu tvaṣṭā rūpāṇi piṃśatu | ā siñcatu prajāpatir dhātā garbhaṃ dadhātu te ||

May Visnu form and mould the womb, may Tvastar duly shape the forms, Prajapati infuse the stream, and Dhatar lay the germ for thee.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

गर्भं धेहि सिनीवालि गर्भं धेहि सरस्वति । गर्भं ते अश्विनौ देवाव् आ धत्ताम् पुष्करस्रजा ॥

garbhaṃ dhehi sinīvāli garbhaṃ dhehi sarasvati | garbhaṃ te aśvinau devāv ā dhattām puṣkarasrajā ||

O Sinivali, set the germ, set thou the germ, Sarasvati: May the Twain Gods bestow the germ, the Asvins crowned with lotuses.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

हिरण्ययी अरणी यं निर्मन्थतो अश्विना । तं ते गर्भं हवामहे दशमे मासि सूतवे ॥

hiraṇyayī araṇī yaṃ nirmanthato aśvinā | taṃ te garbhaṃ havāmahe daśame māsi sūtave ||

That which the Asvins Twain rub forth with the attrition-sticks of gold,- That germ of thine we invocate, that in the tenth month thou mayst bear.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
