Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 10.8.7

AVŚ 10.8.7

एकचक्रं वर्तत एकनेमि सहस्राक्षरं प्र पुरो नि पश्चा । अर्धेन विश्वं भुवनं जजान यद् अस्यार्धं क्व तद् बभूव ॥७॥

ekacakraṃ vartata ekanemi sahasrākṣaraṃ pra puro ni paścā | ardhena viśvaṃ bhuvanaṃ jajāna yad asyārdhaṃ kva tad babhūva ||7||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

One-wheeled it rolls, one-rimmed, thousand-syllabled, forth in front, down behind; with a half it has generated all existence; what its [other] half is—what has become of that?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
