Sukta 2
को अ॑स्मि॒न् रेतो॒ न्यऽदधा॒त् तन्तु॒रा ता॑यता॒मिति॑ । मे॒धां को अ॑स्मि॒न्नध्यौ॑ह॒त् को बा॒णं को नृतो॑ दधौ
kó asmín réto ny-àdadhāt tánturā́ tāyatām íti | medhā́ṃ kó asmínn ádhy-àuhat kó bā́ṇaṃ kó nṛtó dadhau ||
Who in this set down the seed—‘Let the thread, the giver, be stretched forth’? Who in this over-wove intelligence? who set the arrow? who established the human (office/act)?
किसने इसमें बीज रखा, कहता है कि धागा तान के रखना है? किसने इसमें बुद्धि भी दी? किसने तीर लगाया? किसने इंसान के काम शुरू किए?
