Mantra 2

Sukta 1

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

महत् पयो विश्वरूपमस्याः समुद्रस्य त्वोत रेत आहुः । यत ऐति मधुकशा रराणा तत् प्राणस्तदमृतं निविष्टम्

IAST Transliteration

mahát páyo viśvarū́pam asyāḥ samudrásya tvot réta āhuḥ | yátá éti madhukaśā́ rárāṇā tát prāṇás tád amṛ́taṃ níviṣṭam ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Great is her milk, of every form; they call it the ocean’s, yea, seed as well. Whatsoever Madhukaśā, rejoicing, sets in motion—that is breath; that is immortality implanted.

Translation

عظيمٌ لبنُها، ذو كلِّ صورة؛ يسمّونه لبنَ المحيط، بل ويقولون: هو البَذْرُ أيضًا. وكلُّ ما تُحرِّكه مَدْهُكَشَا (Madhukaśā) وهي فرِحةٌ—فذلك هو البرانا (prāṇa)، نَفَسُ الحياة؛ وذلك هو الخلودُ المغروس.
