RV 10 5.1
एकः समुद्रो धरुणो रयीणाम् अस्मद् धृदो भूरिजन्मा वि चष्टे । सिषक्त्य् ऊधर् निण्योर् उपस्थ उत्सस्य मध्ये निहितम् पदꣳ वेः
ekaḥ samudro dharuṇo rayīṇām asmad dhṛdo bhūrijanmā vi caṣṭe | siṣakty ūdhar niṇyor upastha utsasya madhye nihitam padaṁ veḥ
One ocean, the upholder of riches, of many births, looks forth out of our heart. He clings to the udder in the lap of the two hidden ones; in the middle of the spring the bird's track is set down.

HE only is the Sea, holder of treasures: born many a time he views the hearts within us. He hides him in the secret couple's bosom. The Bird dwells in the middle of the fountain.

ऋतायिनी मायिनी सꣳ दधाते मित्वा शिशुꣳ जज्ञतुर् वर्धयन्ती । विश्वस्य नाभिꣳ चरतो ध्रुवस्य कवेश् चित् तन्तुम् मनसा वियन्तः

The two that follow ṛta, that possess māyā, joined together; having framed the child, they begot (it), making (it) grow — the navel of all that moves and stands firm — unwinding with their mind the very thread of the poet.
