Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 7.4.5
Transliteration

ā yó yóniṃ deva-kṛ́taṃ sasā́da kratvā́ hy agnír amṛ́tān átārīt | tám oṣádhīś ca váninaś ca gárbhaṃ bhū́miś ca viśvá-dhāyasaṃ bibharti ||

Translation

Der, der zur von den Göttern geschaffenen Schoßstätte gelangt ist — durch seine Kraft des Krátu hat Agni über die Unsterblichen hinausgesetzt. Ihn tragen die Heilkräuter und die Wälder als Keim, und auch die Erde trägt ihn, den All-Erhaltenden, als verborgenes Samenkorn ihres allumfassenden Werdens.
