This altar is the uttermost end of Earth; this Soma is the seed of the virile Horse. This sacrifice is the navel of all the world of being; this is the Brahman, Speech’s highest firmament.
यह वेदि पृथ्वी का परम अन्त है; यह सोम वीर्यवान अश्व का रेतस् (बीज) है। यह यज्ञ समस्त भुवन की नाभि है; यह ब्रह्म है—वाणी का परम व्योम (उच्चतम आकाश)।
