Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.56.6

RV 10.56.6

द्विधा सूनवो ऽसुरं स्वर्विदम् आस्थापयन्त तृतीयेन कर्मणा । स्वाम् प्रजाम् पितरः पित्र्यं सह आवरेष्व् अदधुस् तन्तुम् आततम् ॥

dvidhā sūnavo 'suraṃ svarvidam āsthāpayanta tṛtīyena karmaṇā | svām prajām pitaraḥ pitryaṃ saha āvareṣv adadhus tantum ātatam ||

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

In two ways have the sons established in his place the Asura who finds the light, by the third act, As fathers, they have set their heritage on earth, their offspring, as a thread continuously spun out.
