RV 10.129.3

तम आसीत् तमसा गूळ्हम् अग्रे ऽप्रकेतं सलिलं सर्वम् आ इदम् । तुच्छ्येनाभ्व् अपिहितं यद् आसीत् तपसस् तन् महिनाजायतैकम् ॥

tama āsīt tamasā gūḷham agre 'praketaṃ salilaṃ sarvam ā idam | tucchyenābhv apihitaṃ yad āsīt tapasas tan mahinājāyataikam ||

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

Darkness there was: at first concealed in darkness this All was indiscriminate chaos. All that existed then was void and formless: by the great power of Warmth was born that Unit.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
