Mantra 2

Sukta 1

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

महत् पयो विश्वरूपमस्याः समुद्रस्य त्वोत रेत आहुः । यत ऐति मधुकशा रराणा तत् प्राणस्तदमृतं निविष्टम्

IAST Transliteration

mahát páyo viśvarū́pam asyāḥ samudrásya tvot réta āhuḥ | yátá éti madhukaśā́ rárāṇā tát prāṇás tád amṛ́taṃ níviṣṭam ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Great is her milk, of every form; they call it the ocean’s, yea, seed as well. Whatsoever Madhukaśā, rejoicing, sets in motion—that is breath; that is immortality implanted.

Translation

Grande es su leche, de toda forma; la llaman la del océano, sí, y también semilla. Todo cuanto Madhukaśā, regocijándose, pone en movimiento — eso es Prāṇa; eso es la inmortalidad implantada (en el interior).
