Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·1·1.32
इदं जनासो विदथ महद् ब्रह्म वदिष्यति । न तत् पृथिव्यां नो दिवि येन प्राणन्ति वीरुधः ॥१॥
idaṃ janāso vidatha mahad brahma vadiṣyati | na tat pṛthivyāṃ no divi yena prāṇanti vīrudhaḥ ||1||
Now, ye people, take knowledge; he will speak a great mystery (? bráhman); that is not on earth nor in the sky whereby the plants breathe.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अन्तरिक्ष आसां स्थाम श्रान्तसदाम् इव । आस्थानम् अस्य भूतस्य विदुष् टद् वेधसो न वा ॥२॥
antarikṣa āsāṃ sthāma śrāntasadām iva | āsthānam asya bhūtasya viduṣ ṭad vedhaso na 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.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यद् रोदसी रेजमाने भूमिश् च निरतक्षतम् । आर्द्रं तद् अद्य सर्वदा समुद्रस्येव श्रोत्याः ॥३॥
yad rodasī rejamāne bhūmiś ca niratakṣatam | ārdraṃ tad adya sarvadā samudrasyeva śrotyāḥ ||3||
What the (two) quaking firmaments (ródasī)—and the earth—fashioned out, that at present is always wet, like the streams of the ocean.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
विश्वम् अन्याम् अभीवार तद् अन्यस्याम् अधि श्रितम् । दिवे च विश्ववेदसे पृथिव्यै चाकरं नमः ॥४॥
viśvam anyām abhīvāra tad anyasyām adhi śritam | dive ca viśvavedase pṛthivyai cākaraṃ namaḥ ||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.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
