10.5.1
eka̍ḥ samu̱dro dha̱ruṇo̍ rayī̱ṇām a̱smad dhṛ̱do bhūri̍janmā̱ vi ca̍ṣṭe |
siṣa̱kty ūdha̍r ni̱ṇyor u̱pastha̱ utsa̍sya̱ madhye̱ nihi̍tam pa̱daṁ veḥ ||
HE only is the Sea, holder of treasures: born many a time he views the hearts within us. He hides him in the secret couple's bosom. The Bird dwells in the middle of the fountain.
10.5.2
sa̱mā̱naṁ nī̱ḻaṁ vṛṣa̍ṇo̱ vasā̍nā̱ḥ saṁ ja̍gmire mahi̱ṣā arva̍tībhiḥ |
ṛ̱tasya̍ pa̱daṁ ka̱vayo̱ ni pā̍nti̱ guhā̱ nāmā̍ni dadhire̱ parā̍ṇi ||
Inhabiting one dwelling-place in common, strong Stallions and the Mares have come together. The sages guard the seat of Holy Order, and keep the highest names concealed within them.
10.5.3
ṛ̱tā̱yinī̍ mā̱yinī̱ saṁ da̍dhāte mi̱tvā śiśu̍ṁ jajñatur va̱rdhaya̍ntī |
viśva̍sya̱ nābhi̱ṁ cara̍to dhru̱vasya̍ ka̱veś ci̱t tantu̱m mana̍sā vi̱yanta̍ḥ ||
The Holy Pair, of wondrous power, have coupled: they formed the Infant, they who bred produced him. The central point of all that moves and moves not, the while they wove the Sage's thread with insight
10.5.4
ṛ̱tasya̱ hi va̍rta̱naya̱ḥ sujā̍ta̱m iṣo̱ vājā̍ya pra̱diva̱ḥ saca̍nte |
a̱dhī̱vā̱saṁ roda̍sī vāvasā̱ne ghṛ̱tair annai̍r vāvṛdhāte̱ madhū̍nām ||
For tracks of Order and refreshing viands attend from ancient times the goodly Infant. Wearing him as a mantle, Earth and Heaven grow strong by food of pleasant drink and fatness.
10.5.5
sa̱pta svasṝ̱r aru̍ṣīr vāvaśā̱no vi̱dvān madhva̱ uj ja̍bhārā dṛ̱śe kam |
a̱ntar ye̍me a̱ntari̍kṣe purā̱jā i̱cchan va̱vrim a̍vidat pūṣa̱ṇasya̍ ||
He, calling loudly to the Seven red Sisters, hath, skilled in sweet drink, brought them to be looked on. He, born of old, in middle air hath halted, and sought and found the covering robe of Pûshan.
10.5.6
sa̱pta ma̱ryādā̍ḥ ka̱vaya̍s tatakṣu̱s tāsā̱m ekā̱m id a̱bhy a̍ṁhu̱ro gā̍t |
ā̱yor ha̍ ska̱mbha u̍pa̱masya̍ nī̱ḻe pa̱thāṁ vi̍sa̱rge dha̱ruṇe̍ṣu tasthau ||
Seven are the pathways which the wise have fashioned; to one of these may come the troubled mortal. He standeth in the dwelling of the Highest, a Pillar, on sure ground where paths are parted.
10.5.7
asa̍c ca̱ sac ca̍ para̱me vyo̍ma̱n dakṣa̍sya̱ janma̱nn adi̍ter u̱pasthe̍ |
a̱gnir ha̍ naḥ prathama̱jā ṛ̱tasya̱ pūrva̱ āyu̍ni vṛṣa̱bhaś ca̍ dhe̱nuḥ ||
Not Being, Being in the highest heaven, in Aditi's bosom and in Daksha's birthplace, Is Agni, our first-born of Holy Order, the Milch-cow and the Bull in life's beginning.
