apā́d eti prathamā́ padvátīnāṃ kás tád vāṃ mitrāvaruṇā́ ciketa |
gárbho bhāráṃ bharaty ā́ cid asyā r̥táṃ píparti ánr̥taṃ ní pāti ||23||

She that is footless goes first of them (fem.) that have feet: who understood (ā-cit) that of you, O Mitra and Varuṇa? the embryo brings (ā-bhṛ) the burden of her; she (?) fills (? pṛ) truth, protects (ni-pā) untruth.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
