The Ṛc-verses in the Imperishable, in the highest firmament, wherein all the Gods have taken seat. He who knoweth not That—what shall he accomplish with a verse? But they who verily know That, these are they who sit in concord.
Les vers Ṛc sont dans l’Impérissable, dans le plus haut firmament, où tous les dieux ont pris place. Celui qui ne connaît pas Cela — qu’accomplira-t-il par un vers Ṛc ? Mais ceux qui connaissent vraiment Cela, ceux-là siègent en concorde.
