यस्य चतस्रः प्रदिशो नाड्य१स्तिष्ठन्ति प्रथमाः । यज्ञो यत्र पराक्रान्तः स्कम्भं तं ब्रूहि कतमः स्विदेव सः
yásya cátasraḥ pradíśo nā́ḍyaḥ tíṣṭhanti prathamā́ḥ | yajñó yátra párākrāntaḥ skámbhaṃ táṃ brūhi katamáḥ svìd evá sáḥ
Whose primary channels are the four quarters standing firm; wherein the Sacrifice hath strode forth and spread abroad—declare thou that Skambha: what manner of One, in very truth, is He?
जिसकी चारों दिशाएँ (प्रदिशः) ही प्रथम नाड़ियाँ (नाड्यः) होकर दृढ़ खड़ी हैं; और जहाँ यज्ञ आगे बढ़कर व्यापक हो गया है—उस स्कम्भ के विषय में बताओ: वह वास्तव में कैसा, कौन-सा एक है?
