c5.s8.t1.12

Another myth connects the Ṛbhus with Savitṛ. They are said to have been round the sky, wind-sped, in swift course (4, 33¹ cp. 1, 161¹²). After much wandering they came to the house of Savitṛ, who conferred immortality on them when they came to Agohya (1, 110²· ³). When, slumbering for twelve days, they had rejoiced in the hospitality of Agohya, they made fair fields and directed the streams, plants occupied the arid ground and waters the lowlands (4, 33⁷). By their skill they made grass on the heights and waters in the depths, when they slumbered in the house of Agohya (1, 161¹¹). Having slept, they asked Agohya as to who had awakened them; in a year they looked around (ib. ¹³).
