Mantra 31
Sukta 7
नाम नाम्ना जोहवीति पुरा सूर्यात् पुरोषसः । यदजः प्रथमं संबभूव स ह तत् स्वराज्यमियाय यस्मान्नान्यत् परमस्ति भूतम्
nā́ma nā́mnā johavīti purā́ sū́ryā́t puróṣásaḥ | yád ajáḥ prathamáṁ sámbabhū́va sá há tát svarā́jyam iyāya yásmān nā́nyat paráṁ ásti bhūtám ||
Name by Name he calls unceasingly, in elder time, before the Sun, before the Dawn. When first the Unborn came to full becoming, then verily he won that self-sovereignty, than which no other being is higher.
নামৰ দ্বাৰা নামকেই তেওঁ অবিৰাম আহ্বান কৰে—প্ৰাচীন কালত, সূৰ্যৰ আগতে, উষাৰ আগতে। যেতিয়া অজ (অজন্মা) প্ৰথমবাৰ সম্পূৰ্ণ ৰূপে প্ৰকাশ পালে, তেতিয়াই সি সেই স্ব-সাম্ৰাজ্য (স্বৰাজ্য) লাভ কৰিলে—যাৰ ওপৰত কোনো আন ভূত-সত্তা পৰম নহয়।
