12.1.8
yā́rṇavé 'dhi salilám ágra ā́sīt yā́ṃ māyā́bhir anvácaran manīṣíṇaḥ |
yásyā hŕ̥dayaṃ paramé vyòmant satyénā́vr̥tam amŕ̥taṃ pr̥thivyā́ḥ |
sā́ no bhū́mis tvíṣiṃ bálaṃ rāṣṭré dadhātūttamé ||8||
She who in the beginning was sea (salilá) upon the ocean (arṇavá); whom the skilful (manīṣín) moved after with their devices (māyā́); the earth whose immortal heart covered with truth is in the highest firmament (vyòman)—let that earth (bhū́mi) assign to us brilliancy, strength, in highest royalty.
