The northern rays of the sun are the northern honey-cells. The verses of the Atharvangirasa are the bees. The Itihasa-purana is the flower. The water is the nectar.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad III, IV – The Honey-Doctrine (Atharva-Veda), 1
One she leads on to power, another to glory; another she leads on to pursuit of gain; yet others she directs to varied callings, raising to consciousness all living creatures.
Rig Veda I, 113, 6
The Daughter of Heaven now appears before us, a fair young woman clothed in shining garments. Auspicious Dawn, mistress of earthly treasure, shine upon us today in queenly splendor.
Rig Veda I, 113, 7
She, first of endless morns to come hereafter, follows the path of morns that went before. Dawn at her shining summons forth the living; the dead she never wakens from their slumbers.
Rig Veda I, 113, 8
O Dawn, you shine forth with the eye of the Sun. You wake the worshiper and inspire his heart to kindle the fire and offer sacrifice. Thus to the Gods you render noble service.
Rig Veda I, 113, 9
