Sukta 2

च्यु॒ता चे॒यं बृ॑ह॒त्यच्यु॑ता च वि॒द्युद् बि॑भर्ति स्तनयि॒त्नूंश्च॒ सर्वा॑न्। उ॒द्यन्ना॑दि॒त्यो द्रवि॑णेन॒ तेज॑सा नी॒चैः स॒पत्ना॑न् नुदतां मे॒ सह॑स्वान्

cyutā́ ca iyáṃ bṛhatī́ ácyutā ca vidyút bibhárti stanayitnū́ṃś ca sárvān | udyánn ādityó dráviṇena téjasā nīcáiḥ sapátnān nudatāṃ me sáhasvān ||

Moved, yet this great one is unmoved: the lightning beareth all the thunders. Let the rising Āditya, mighty, with wealth and with splendor, thrust my rivals downward and away.

Bewegt – und doch ist diese Große unbewegt; der Blitz trägt alle Donner. Der aufsteigende Āditya, mächtig, mit Reichtum und Glanz, soll meine Widersacher nach unten und fort stoßen, du Überwältigender.
