In the Rg mantra Sarama is glorified thus<blockquote>"''विश्वे अस्या वयुषि माहिनायाः सं यद गोभिर अङगिरसो नवन्त | <br>

''विश्वे अस्या वयुषि माहिनायाः सं यद गोभिर अङगिरसो नवन्त | <br>

उत्स आसाम परमे सधस्थ रतस्य पथा सरमा विदद गाः ||'' ''"</blockquote><blockquote>"''viśve asyā vyuṣi māhināyāḥ saṃ yad ghobhir aṅghiraso navanta |''"</blockquote><blockquote>"''utsa āsām parame sadhastha ṛtasya pathā saramā vidad ghāḥ || (Rig Veda 5.45.8)''"</blockquote>'''''Meaning''' : Angirasa, who during the morning hours along with Usha Devi, came with the cows and at that time the milk flowing from cow’s udders was offered in yajna. Sarama recognized and found the cows on the path of the रथ  || ratha. ''

'''Esoteric Meaning''' :Here the cows are considered as transcendental knowledge and their moving about for grazing during उषः काल || ushah kala (morning hours) is called the time for ज्ञानोदय || jnanodaya (awakening of knowledge). For Angirasa to receive this knowledge, Sarama was very important and Sarama moves on into the path of rithasatya, (satyavrita) with greater speed and ahead of everyone she was able to locate the cows. This is Sarama’s rita path or the path of truth. She who moves very fast can understand the deepest place where ज्ञान || jnana (wisdom) is hidden through fragrance (sruthi fragrance).
