The aim of the paper is to show that application of cognitive linguistics into the study of the ancient poetical text, the 'Rgveda' (c.a. XIII B.C., composed in Sanskrit) can solve serious problems with its understanding. One stanza (Rgveda 1.139.2) is analysed. The cognitive linguistics methodology reveals its conceptual motivation and makes the difficult content of the stanza clear and consistent.
