Mantra 13
Sukta 7
नव भूमीः समुद्रा उच्छिष्टेऽअधि श्रिता दिवः । आ सूर्यो भात्युच्छिष्टेऽहोरात्रे अपि तन्मयि
náva bhū́mīḥ samudrā́ ucchíṣṭe ’dhí śritā́ diváḥ | ā́ sū́ryo bhā́ty ucchíṣṭe ’horātré ápi tánmayi
Nine earths and oceans, of heaven, rest thereon in Ucchiṣṭa; the Sun shines forth in Ucchiṣṭa—day and night also are of that very substance.
नौ भूमियाँ और समुद्र, तथा दिव्य लोक—ये सब उच्छिष्ट पर ही आश्रित होकर टिके हैं। उच्छिष्ट में ही सूर्य प्रकाशमान होता है; और अहोरात्र भी उसी तत्त्वमय हैं—वही मुझमें भी है।
