The wondrous face of the gods hath risen up—the eye of Mitra, Varuṇa, and Agni. He hath filled Heaven and Earth and the mid-air: the Sun, the very self of what moveth and what standeth.
Das wunderbare Antlitz der Götter ist aufgegangen — das Auge Mitras, Varuṇas und Agnis. Es hat Himmel und Erde und den Luftraum erfüllt: die Sonne, das Selbst alles Bewegten und alles Feststehenden.
