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