3.2.10

vi̱śāṁ ka̱viṁ vi̱śpati̱m mānu̍ṣī̱r iṣa̱ḥ saṁ sī̍m akṛṇva̱n svadhi̍ti̱ṁ na teja̍se |
sa u̱dvato̍ ni̱vato̍ yāti̱ vevi̍ṣa̱t sa garbha̍m e̱ṣu bhuva̍neṣu dīdharat ||

Man's sacrificial food hath sharpened like an axe, for brightness, him the Sage of men, the people's Lord, Busied with sacred rites he mounts and he descends. He hath laid down his vital germ within these worlds.

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