The Rig Veda — Mandala 1, Hymn 190 (1896)
“ Like a fair path is he, where grass is pleasant, though hard to win, a Friend beloved most early. Those who unharmed by enemies behold us, while they would make them bare, stood closely compassed. 7. He to whom songs of praise go forth like torrents, as rivers eddying under banks flow sea-ward-- Brhaspati the wise, the eager, closely looks upon both, the waters and the vessel. ”
