(RV 1.20.4)
yuvānā
pitarā punaĥ
satyamantrā ŗjūyavaĥ,
ŗbhavo vişhţy-akrata.
The
Ribhus, the truth-thoughted, desirous of the straight path, made
young again the parents by their pervading (the mind and body).
Heaven and Earth are the Parents of man, the evolving being. The
Earth symbolising his gross physical body and its consciousness
and the Heaven standing for his mind and mentality are the two
ends of his normal existence. They are time-worn and become old.
The Ribhus, Powers of illumination, artisans of immortality, bring
in streams of Truth from above and pervade the mind and body of
man with their rejuvenating currents, making them fresh and young
again. Bearers of Truth in their workings, they seek the straight
course and go wherever it is prepared and ready.
