Rg Veda 10.17

तवष्टा दुहित्रे वहतुं कर्णोतीतीदं विश्वं भुवनंसमेति |
यमस्य माता पर्युह्यमाना महो जाया विवस्वतोननाश ||
अपागूहन्नम्र्तां मर्त्येभ्यः कर्त्वी सवर्णामददुर्विवस्वते |
उताश्विनावभरद यत तदसीदजहादु दवामिथुना सरण्यूः ||


Divine Tvashtar, in craft's two-ity instructed, dowers his daughter whom, at a word, the world assembles to see wed
Who' tho' already the Sun's spouse, Death's mother, yet, khora akhoraton, as but Shadow is brought to bed
Hiding from mortal men, as must all Truth constructed, her, immortal, whose but double's hymen bled
Yielding doubled twins, our Death & River & two horse faced healers, 'fore troubled again she fled.


Note

The Virgin Mary is known as khora akhoraton, the “container of the uncontainable”.
