ákrandad agní stanáyan niva dyáuḥ kṣā́mā rerihat vīrúdhaḥ samáñjan | sadyó jajñānó ví hí iddhó akhyad ā́ rodasī bhānúnā bhāty antáḥ

Translation

Agni brüllte, gleichsam wie der donnernde Himmel; er leckte die Erde, berührte die Pflanzen, sich weithin ausbreitend. Soeben geboren, ja, als er entzündet war, wurde er sichtbar: zwischen den beiden Welten leuchtet er, innen, mit seinem Glanz.
