Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.82
चक्षुषः पिता मनसा हि धीरो घृतम् एने अजनन् नन्नमाने । यदेद् अन्ता अददृहन्त पूर्व आद् इद् द्यावापृथिवी अप्रथेताम् ॥
cakṣuṣaḥ pitā manasā hi dhīro ghṛtam ene ajanan nannamāne | yaded antā adadṛhanta pūrva ād id dyāvāpṛthivī aprathetām ||
The Father of the eye, the Wise in spirit, created both these worlds submerged in fatness. Then when the eastern ends were firmly fastened, the heavens and the earth were far extended.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
विश्वकर्मा विमना आद् विहाया धाता विधाता परमोत संदृक् । तेषाम् इष्टानि सम् इषा मदन्ति यत्रा सप्तऋषीन् पर एकम् आहुः ॥
viśvakarmā vimanā ād vihāyā dhātā vidhātā paramota saṃdṛk | teṣām iṣṭāni sam iṣā madanti yatrā saptaṛṣīn para ekam āhuḥ ||
Mighty in mind and power is Visvakarman, Maker, Disposer, and most lofty Presence. Their offerings joy in rich juice where they value One, only One, beyond the Seven Rsis.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो नः पिता जनिता यो विधाता धामानि वेद भुवनानि विश्वा । यो देवानां नामधा एक एव तं सम्प्रश्नम् भुवना यन्त्य् अन्या ॥
yo naḥ pitā janitā yo vidhātā dhāmāni veda bhuvanāni viśvā | yo devānāṃ nāmadhā eka eva taṃ sampraśnam bhuvanā yanty anyā ||
Father who made us, he who, as Disposer, knoweth all races and all things existing, Even he alone, the Deities' name-giver, him other beings seek for information.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त आयजन्त द्रविणं सम् अस्मा ऋषयः पूर्वे जरितारो न भूना । असूर्ते सूर्ते रजसि निषत्ते ये भूतानि समकृण्वन्न् इमानि ॥
ta āyajanta draviṇaṃ sam asmā ṛṣayaḥ pūrve jaritāro na bhūnā | asūrte sūrte rajasi niṣatte ye bhūtāni samakṛṇvann imāni ||
To him in sacrifice they offered treasures,-Rsis of old, in numerous troops, as singers, Who, in the distant, near, and lower region, made ready all these things that have existence.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
परो दिवा पर एना पृथिव्या परो देवेभिर् असुरैर् यद् अस्ति । कं स्विद् गर्भम् प्रथमं दध्र आपो यत्र देवाः समपश्यन्त विश्वे ॥
paro divā para enā pṛthivyā paro devebhir asurair yad asti | kaṃ svid garbham prathamaṃ dadhra āpo yatra devāḥ samapaśyanta viśve ||
That which is earlier than this earth and heaven, before the Asuras and Gods had being,- What was the germ primeval which the waters received where all the Gods were seen together?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तम् इद् गर्भम् प्रथमं दध्र आपो यत्र देवाः समगच्छन्त विश्वे । अजस्य नाभाव् अध्य् एकम् अर्पितं यस्मिन् विश्वानि भुवनानि तस्थुः ॥
tam id garbham prathamaṃ dadhra āpo yatra devāḥ samagacchanta viśve | ajasya nābhāv adhy ekam arpitaṃ yasmin viśvāni bhuvanāni tasthuḥ ||
The waters, they received that germ primeval wherein the Gods were gathered all together. It rested set upon the Unborn's navel, that One wherein abide all things existing.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
न तं विदाथ य इमा जजानान्यद् युष्माकम् अन्तरम् बभूव । नीहारेण प्रावृता जल्प्या चासुतृप उक्थशासश् चरन्ति ॥
na taṃ vidātha ya imā jajānānyad yuṣmākam antaram babhūva | nīhāreṇa prāvṛtā jalpyā cāsutṛpa ukthaśāsaś caranti ||
Ye will not find him who produced these creatures: another thing hath risen up among you. Enwrapt in misty cloud, with lips that stammer, hymn-chanters wander and are discontented.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
