Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.85.18

RV 10.85.18

पूर्वापरं चरतो माययैतौ शिशू क्रीळन्तौ परि यातो अध्वरम् । विश्वान्य् अन्यो भुवनाभिचष्ट ऋतूंर् अन्यो विदधज् जायते पुनः ॥

pūrvāparaṃ carato māyayaitau śiśū krīḷantau pari yāto adhvaram | viśvāny anyo bhuvanābhicaṣṭa ṛtūṃr anyo vidadhaj jāyate punaḥ ||

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

By their own power these Twain in close succession move; They go as playing children round the sacrifice. One of the Pair beholdeth all existing things; the other ordereth seasons and is born again.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
