Rig Veda 4.51.6
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
कव सविद आसां कतमा पुराणी यया विधाना विदधुर रभूणाम | शुभं यच छुभ्रा उषसश चरन्ति न वि जञायन्ते सद्र्शीर अजुर्याः
IAST Romanisation
kva svid āsāṃ katamā purāṇī yayā vidhānā vidadhur ṛbhūṇām | śubhaṃ yac chubhrā uṣasaś caranti na vi jñāyante sadṛśīr ajuryāḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
Which among these is eldest, and where is she through whom they fixed the Ṛbhus' regulations? What time the splendid Dawns go forth for splendour, they are not known apart, alike, unwasting.
