यो न॑: पि॒ता ज॑नि॒ता यो वि॑धा॒ता धामा॑नि॒ वेद॒ भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वा॑ । यो दे॒वानां॑ नाम॒धा एक॑ ए॒व तᳪ स॑म्प्र॒श्नं भुव॑ना यन्त्य॒न्या

Transliteration

yó naḥ pitā́ janitā́ yó vidhātā́ dhā́māni véda bhúvanāni víśvā | yó devā́nāṃ nāmadhā́ éka evá táṃ sampráśnaṃ bhúvanā yanty anyā́ ||

Translation

He who is our father, our begetter, he who is the ordainer, who knoweth the ordinances and all the worlds; he who alone is the name-giver of the gods—to him, as to one to be questioned, the beings resort, the others (all).
