Rig Veda 2.32.2
मा नो गुह्या रिप आयोरहन दभन मा न आभ्यो रीरधो दुछुनाभ्यः | मा नो वि यौः सख्या विद्धि तस्य नः सुम्नायता मनसा तत तवेमहे

With eulogy I call on Rākā swift to hear may she, auspicious, hear us, and herself observe. With never-breaking needle may she sew her work, and give a hero son most wealthy, meet for praise.
