I TRAVEL with the Rudras and the Vasus, with the Adityas and All-Gods I wander. I hold aloft both Varuna and Mitra, Indra and Agni, and the Pair of Asvins.
I cherish and sustain high-swelling Soma, and Tvastar I support, Pusan, and Bhaga. I load with wealth the zealous sacrificer who pours the juice and offers his oblation
I am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, first of those who merit worship. Thus Gods have stablished me in many places with many homes to enter and abide in.
मया सो अन्नम् अत्ति यो विपश्यति यः प्राणिति य ईं शृणोत्य् उक्तम् । अमन्तवो मां त उप क्षियन्ति श्रुधि श्रुत श्रद्धिवं ते वदामि ॥
mayā so annam atti yo vipaśyati yaḥ prāṇiti ya īṃ śṛṇoty uktam | amantavo māṃ ta upa kṣiyanti śrudhi śruta śraddhivaṃ te vadāmi ||
Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them,-each man who sees, breathes, hears the word outspoken They know it not, but yet they dwell beside me. Hear, one and all, the truth as I declare it.
aham eva svayam idaṃ vadāmi juṣṭaṃ devebhir uta mānuṣebhiḥ | yaṃ kāmaye taṃ-tam ugraṃ kṛṇomi tam brahmāṇaṃ tam ṛṣiṃ taṃ sumedhām ||
I, verily, myself announce and utter the word that Gods and men alike shall welcome. I make the man I love exceeding mighty, make him a sage, a Rsi, and a Brahman.
I bend the bow for Rudra that his arrow may strike and slay the hater of devotion. I rouse and order battle for the people, and I have penetrated Earth and Heaven.
ahaṃ suve pitaram asya mūrdhan mama yonir apsv antaḥ samudre | tato vi tiṣṭhe bhuvanānu viśvotāmūṃ dyāṃ varṣmaṇopa spṛśāmi ||
On the world's summit I bring forth the Father: my home is in the waters, in the ocean. Thence I extend o'er all existing creatures, and touch even yonder heaven with my forehead.
अहम् एव वात इव प्र वाम्य् आरभमाणा भुवनानि विश्वा । परो दिवा पर एना पृथिव्यैतावती महिना सम् बभूव ॥
aham eva vāta iva pra vāmy ārabhamāṇā bhuvanāni viśvā | paro divā para enā pṛthivyaitāvatī mahinā sam babhūva ||
I breathe a strong breath like the wind and tempest, the while I hold together all existence. Beyond this wide earth and beyond the heavens I have become so mighty in my grandeur.
