With the splendor that resides in a chariot, in dice, in a strong bull, in wind, in rain and in thunder, may that blessed Goddess who gave birth to Indra now come to us, endowed with splendor!
Atharva Veda VI, 38, 3
With the splendor that resides in a noble, a drumbeat, an arrow’s flight, a man’s shout, a mettlesome horse, may that blessed Goddess who gave birth to Indra now come to us, endowed with splendor!
Atharva Veda VI, 38, 4
Prajapati brooded over the worlds; from them, thus brooded over, he squeezed the essences: agni (fire) from the earth, vayu (air) from the mid-region and aditya (the sun) from heaven.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad IV, XVII – Penances for Mistakes in the Sacrifice, 1
He brooded over these three deities; from them, thus brooded over, he squeezed the essences. The Rik-verses from fire, the Yajus-verses from the air and the Saman-verses from the sun.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad IV, XVII – Penances for Mistakes in the Sacrifice, 2
He brooded over the threefold knowledge (i.e. the three Vedas); from them, thus brooded over, he squeezed the essences: Bhuh from the Rik-verses, Bhuvah from the Yajus-verses and Svah from the Saman-verses.
