Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.72.2

RV 10.72.2

ब्रह्मणस् पतिर् एता सं कर्मार इवाधमत् । देवानाम् पूर्व्ये युगे ऽसतः सद् अजायत ॥

brahmaṇas patir etā saṃ karmāra ivādhamat | devānām pūrvye yuge 'sataḥ sad ajāyata ||

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

These Brahmanaspati produced with blast and smelting, like a Smith, Existence, in an earlier age of Gods, from Non-existence sprang.
