यस्मि॑न्वृ॒क्षे म॒ध्वद॑: सुप॒र्णा नि॑वि॒शन्ते॒ सुव॑ते॒ चाधि॒ विश्वे॑ । तस्येदा॑हु॒: पिप्प॑लं स्वा॒द्वग्रे॒ तन्नोन्न॑श॒द्यः पि॒तरं॒ न वेद॑ ॥

English translation:
“In the tree into which the smooth-gliding (rays) feeders on the sweet (produce), enter, and again bring forth (light) over all, they have called the fruit sweet, but he partakes not of it who knows not the protector (of the universe).”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
The tree: the orb or region of the sun; he partakes not of it, who: tan na unna śad yaḥ pitaram na veda: pitaram = pālaka, cherisher, protector; the sun, the supreme spirit
