RV 10 123.1

अयꣳ वेनश् चोदयत् पृश्निगर्भा ज्योतिर्जरायू रजसो विमाने । इमम् अपाꣳ सꣳगमे सूर्यस्य शिशुꣳ न विप्रा मतिभी रिहन्ति

ayaṁ venaś codayat pṛśnigarbhā jyotirjarāyū rajaso vimāne | imam apāṁ saṁgame sūryasya śiśuṁ na viprā matibhī rihanti

This Vena has urged on those pregnant with the dappled (ones), (he) whose afterbirth is light, in the measuring-out of the mid-space. Him, at the meeting of the waters and the sun, the inspired ones lick with their thoughts, as (cows lick) a calf.

Knowing the form, the inspired ones yearned, for they went after the cry of the wild beast, of the buffalo. Going by ṛta they mounted up to the river; the Gandharva found the immortal names.

The Apsaras, smiling up at her lover, the young woman bears (him) in the highest heaven. He moves in the wombs of the dear one, being dear; he, Vena, sat down on the golden wing.
