अपश्यं गोपामनिपद्यमानमा च परा च पथिभिश्चरन्तम्।
स सध्रीचीः स विषूचीर्वसान आ वरीवर्ति भुवनेष्वन्तः ॥३१॥
यई चकार न सो अस्य वेद य ईं ददर्श हिरुगिन्नु तस्मात् ।
स मातुर्योना परिवीतो अन्तर्बहुप्रजा निऋतिमा विवेश ॥३२॥

apaśyaṁ gopāmanipadyamānamā ca parā ca pathibhiścarantam,
sa sadhrīcīḥ sa viṣūcīrvasāna ā varīvarti bhuvaneṣvantaḥ. 31
ya īṁ cakāra na so asya veda ya īm dadarśa hiruginnu tasmāt,
sa māturyonā parivito antarbahuprajā nirṛtimā viveśa. 32

Rig Veda 1.164.31, 32

I saw him who protects, who never stumbles, who moves by paths here below and beyond.
He is with all, he is around all, he circles under cover, within all the worlds. (31)

He who has created this does not know it and he who has seen it is hidden away from it.
He is enclosed within the womb of the Mother: he produced the many and entered into untruth. (32)
