One man with utmost care creates the verses; another sings a song in chanted meters. A third, the Brahmin, tells forth the wisdom of being, while yet a fourth prescribes the rules of sacrifice.
Rig Veda X, 71,11
I move with the Rudras and also with the Vasus, I move with the Adityas and all the Gods. I support both Mitra and Varuna, Indra and Agni and the two Ashvins.
Rig Veda X, 125,1
I uphold Soma the exuberant; I uphold Tvastar, Pusan, and Bhaga. I pour wealth on the offerer of oblation, the worshiper and the pious presser of Soma.
Rig Veda X, 125,2
I am the ruling Queen, the amasser of treasures, full of wisdom, first of those worthy of worship. In various places the divine powers have set me. I enter many homes and take numerous forms.
Rig Veda X, 125,3
Among many I am the first; or among many I am the middlemost. But certainly I am never the last. What purpose of the King of Death will my father serve today by thus giving me away to him?
Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part One, Chapter I, 5
