Mantra 3
Sukta 8
दश साकमजायन्त देवा देवेभ्यः पुरा। यो वै तान् विद्यात् प्रत्यक्षं स वा अद्य महद् वदेत्
dáśa sā́kam ajāyanta devā́ devébhyaḥ purā́ | yó vái tā́n vidyā́t pratyákṣaṃ sá vā́ adyá mahád vadet |
Ten, all together, were born as Gods from Gods in the olden time. Whoso in very deed should know them face to face, he even to-day would speak a mighty word.
पुराकाल में देवों से दस (तत्त्व) एक साथ देव रूप में उत्पन्न हुए। जो उन्हें प्रत्यक्ष रूप से जान ले, वह आज भी महान वचन बोल सकता है।
