Rig Veda 10.85.18

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

पूर्वापरं चरतो माययैतौ शिशू करिळन्तौ परि यतोध्वरम | विश्वान्यन्यो भुवनाभिचष्ट रतुन्रन्योविदधज्जायते पुनः

IAST Romanisation

pūrvāparaṃ carato māyayaitau śiśū kriḷantau pari yatoadhvaram | viśvānyanyo bhuvanābhicaṣṭa ṛtunranyovidadhajjāyate punaḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

By their own power these Twain in close succession move; They go as playing children round the sacrifice. One of the Pair beholdeth all existing things; the other ordereth seasons and is born again.
