āsthā́nam asyá bhūtásya vidúṣ ṭád vedháso ná vā ||2||
In the atmosphere is the station of them, as of those sitting wearied; the station of this that exists (bhūtá): that the pious know—or they do not.

ārdráṃ tád adyá sarvadā́ samudrásyeva śrotyā́ḥ ||3||
What the (two) quaking firmaments (ródasī)—and the earth—fashioned out, that at present is always wet, like the streams of the ocean.

víśvam anyā́m abhīvā́ra tád anyásyām ádhi śritám |
divé ca viśvávedase pr̥thivyái cākaraṃ námaḥ ||4||
The one hath covered all; this rests upon the other; both to the heaven and to the all-possessing earth have I paid homage.
