Dear Howard,

    Here is the verse from the Rigveda -

चत्वारि वाक् परिमिता पदानि तानि विदुब्राह्मणा ये मनीषिण:। गुहा त्रीणि निहिता नेङ्गयन्ति तुरीयं वाचो मनुष्या वदन्ति। (ऋग्वेद-1-164-45)

Could someone please give me the verse number for the famous Ṛg-veda statement that there are four parts of speech, humans know only one.

Thanks!
