Rig veda 10.129.1

नासद् आसीन् नो सद् आसीत् तदानीं नासीद् रजो नो व्योमा परो यत् |
किम् आवरीवः कुह कस्य शर्मन्न् अम्भः किम् आसीद् गहनं गभीरम् ||
nāsad āsīn no sad āsīt tadānīṃ nāsīd rajo no vyomā paro yat |
kim āvarīvaḥ kuha kasya śarmann ambhaḥ kim āsīd gahanaṃ gabhīram ||

- nāsad āsīn no sad āsīt : (Before creation) what was present can neither be called existence nor non existence (In static form it is no different than the inconsciousness that surrender it)
- tadānīṃ nāsīd rajo no vyomā paro yat : There was no (lower world such as) vital plane nor were there higher worlds (such as sat-chit-ananda existence plane, force plane and harmony plane) (since these dynamic world come after creation)
- kim āvarīvaḥ kuha kasya śarmann : what was it that was covered up (by the darkness of inconsciousness)? Where was it? In what did it take refuge?
- ambhaḥ kim āsīd gahanaṃ gabhīram : what was that deep and impenetrable ocean (of inconscious darkness that surrounded it)?
