ऋतं च सत्यं चाभीद्धात् तपसो ऽध्य् अजायत । ततो रात्र्य् अजायत ततः समुद्रो अर्णवः ॥
ṛtaṃ ca satyaṃ cābhīddhāt tapaso 'dhy ajāyata | tato rātry ajāyata tataḥ samudro arṇavaḥ ||
From Fervour kindled to its height Eternal Law and Truth were born: Thence was the Night produced, and thence the billowy flood of sea arose.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
समुद्राद् अर्णवाद् अधि संवत्सरो अजायत । अहोरात्राणि विदधद् विश्वस्य मिषतो वशी ॥
samudrād arṇavād adhi saṃvatsaro ajāyata | ahorātrāṇi vidadhad viśvasya miṣato vaśī ||
From that same billowy flood of sea the Year was afterwards produced, Ordainer of the days nights, Lord over all who close the eye.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ धाता यथापूर्वम् अकल्पयत् । दिवं च पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षम् अथो स्वः ॥
sūryācandramasau dhātā yathāpūrvam akalpayat | divaṃ ca pṛthivīṃ cāntarikṣam atho svaḥ ||
Dhatar, the great Creator, then formed in due order Sun and Moon. He formed in order Heaven and Earth, the regions of the air, and light.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
