अविन्दन्ते अतिहितं यदासीद्यज्ञस्य धाम परमं गुहा यत् । धातुर्द्युतानात्सवितुश्च विष्णोर्भरद्वाजो बृहदा चक्रे अग्नेः ॥

Transliteration

avíndante áti-hitaṃ yád āsīd yajñásya dhā́ma paramáṃ guhā́ yát | dhā́tur dyutā́nāt savitúś ca víṣṇor bharádvājo bṛhád ā́ cakre agnéḥ ||

Translation

Hallaron aquello que había sido puesto más allá, cuando la morada suprema del sacrificio estaba oculta en la caverna. Del resplandor de Dhātṛ, de Savitṛ y de Viṣṇu, Bharadvāja forjó para Agni lo Vasto (Bṛhat), para que el Fuego arda en la amplitud del alma.
