Sukta 2
यस्य॒ द्यौरु॒र्वी पृ॑थि॒वी च॑ म॒ही यस्या॒द उ॒र्व॑१न्तरि॑क्षम्। यस्या॒सौ सूरो॒ वित॑तो महि॒त्वा कस्मै॑ दे॒वाय॑ ह॒विषा॑ विधेम
yásya dyáur urvī́ pṛthivī́ ca mahī́ yásyā́d urú antárikṣam | yásyā́sau sū́ro vitáto mahitvā́ kásmai devā́ya havíṣā vidhema ||
Whose are the Sky, and Earth the broad, the great; from whom the wide Mid-air (is set); whose yonder Sun is spread abroad by majesty—to what God shall we pay worship with oblation?
الذي له السماءُ، والأرضُ العريضةُ العظيمة؛ ومنه أُقيم الفضاءُ الواسعُ بينهما؛ والذي بسطتْ شمسُ هناك بعظمته—فإلى أيِّ إلهٍ نقدّم العبادةَ بالهَفِس (القُربان)؟
