तस्य ये प्राञ्चो रश्मयस्ता एवास्य प्राच्यो मधुनाड्यः ।ऋच एव मधुकृत ऋग्वेद एव पुष्पं ता अमृता आपस्ता वा एता ऋचः ॥ २ ॥
In plain words
Those eastern rays of the sun are its eastern honey-channels. The Rigvedic hymns are the bees, the Rigveda itself is the flower, and the waters are the immortal nectar. Truly, these are the Rig verses.
