Taittiriyabrahmana 3.10.4

You are the year; you are the full year; / you are the following year; you are the recurring year; / you are the current year; you are the year. / Of you, spring is the head; / summer is the right wing; / the rainy season is the tail; / autumn is the left wing; / winter is the middle; / the waxing fortnights are the layers; / the waning fortnights are the loose earth filling;

the days and nights are the bricks. / You are the bull, the heavenly world. / In whatever direction you are magnified, / from there bring us greatness. / Becoming the wind, blow toward all directions; / blow along through all directions; / blow together along all directions. / Fill the pile with thought; / fill the pile without thought. / Thought you are, born from the ocean.

Soma the capable, the true falcon, / the golden-winged, zealous bird, / great, seated firmly in the shared seat: / homage be to you; do not harm me! / 'Hither', 'forth', 'apart', 'together', 'upward': / grant me heaven; / grant me the intermediate space; / grant me the earth! / Grant me the earth; / grant me the intermediate space; / grant me heaven! / Extend with the day; / contract with the night. / Extend with the night; contract with the day. / Extend desire; / contract desire!
