dve id a̍sya̱ krama̍ṇe sva̱rdṛśo̍ 'bhi̱khyāya̱ martyo̍ bhuraṇyati |
tṛ̱tīya̍m asya̱ naki̱r ā da̍dharṣati̱ vaya̍ś ca̱na pa̱taya̍ntaḥ pata̱triṇa̍ḥ ||

A mortal man, when he beholds two steps of him who looks upon the light, is restless with amaze. But his third step doth no one venture to approach, no, nor the feathered birds of air who fly with wings.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
