Mantra 11
Sukta 9
पञ्चारे चक्रे परिवर्तमाने यस्मिन्नातस्थुर्भुवनानि विश्वा । तस्य नाक्षस्तप्यते भूरिभारः सनादेव न च्छिद्यते सनाभिः
pañcā́re cakré parivártamāne yásminn ātásthur bhúvanāni víśvā | tásya nákṣas tapyate bhū́ribharāḥ sanā́d eva ná cchídyate sánābhiḥ ||
In the five-spoked wheel that turns about, wherein all the worlds are set and stand—its axle is not worn though heavily laden; from of old it is not broken, its hub unshattered.
पाँच आरे वाले, घूमते हुए चक्र में—जिसमें सब भुवन टिके और स्थित हैं—उसका अक्ष भारी भार से भी घिसता नहीं। वह सनातन से न टूटता; उसकी नाभि (हब) प्राचीन काल से अखंड है।
