AVŚ 9.10.17

सप्तार्धगर्भा भुवनस्य रेतो विष्णोस् तिष्ठन्ति प्रदिशा विधर्मणि । ते धीतिभिर् मनसा ते विपश्चितः परिभुवः परि भवन्ति विश्वतः ॥१७॥

saptārdhagarbhā bhuvanasya reto viṣṇos tiṣṭhanti pradiśā vidharmaṇi | te dhītibhir manasā te vipaścitaḥ paribhuvaḥ pari bhavanti viśvataḥ ||17||

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

Seven half-embryos, the seed of existence, stand in front (? pradíçā), in Vishṇu's distribution; they, by thoughts (dhītí), by mind, they, inspired, surround on all sides the surrounders.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
