"Who is there who knows? Who can tell its origin? Who can tell the source of this creation? The gods are on this side of the creation. Who knows, then, where it came from and how it came into being?
Where this creation came from and how it came into being—perhaps the highest overseer in heaven knows, or perhaps even he does not know."
Source: Rig Veda 10.129
