Mantra 14
Sukta 2
को अस्मिन् यज्ञमदधादेको देवोऽधि पुरुषे । को अस्मिन्त्सत्यं कोऽनृतं कुतो मृत्यृः कुतोऽमृतम्
kó ásmín yajñám adadhād éko devó’dhí púruṣe | kó ásmín satyáṃ kó’nṛ́taṃ kúto mṛtyúḥ kúto’mṛ́tam ||
Who in this man established sacrifice—one god presiding within the Person? Who in him set truth, who untruth? Whence is death, and whence is immortality?
এই পুরুষের মধ্যে যজ্ঞ কে স্থাপন করল—এক দেবতা, যিনি পুরুষের অন্তরে অধিষ্ঠাতা? এতে সত্য কে স্থাপন করল, অসত্য কে? মৃত্যু কোথা থেকে, আর অমৃতত্ব কোথা থেকে?
