Mantra 5
Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within the Prajāpati-hymn complex (often treated as anonymous/ādi in ritual collections; later tradition associates such cosmogonic material with Prajāpati/Āditya seers)
Devata: Prajāpati (with implicit bandhu to the Yajña and the altar)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (dominant cadence in this anuvāka)

Transliteration
yasmā́j jātaṃ na purā́ kiṃ canaivá ya ābabhū́va bhúvanāni víśvā | prajā́patiḥ prajā́yā saṃrarāṇás trī́ṇi jyótīṃṣi sacate sá ṣoḍaśī́
Translation
যাৰ পৰা জন্ম হ’ল, তাৰ পূৰ্বে একো নাছিল; যি পাছত এই সকলো বিশ্বলোক হৈ উঠিল। প্ৰজাপতি, নিজৰ প্ৰজাৰ সৈতে আনন্দিত হৈ, তিনিটা জ্যোতিলৈ সংযুক্ত হয়; সেয়াই ষোড়শ।
