Sukta 8
बाला॒देक॑मणीय॒स्कमु॒तैकं॒ नेव॑ दृश्यते । ततः॒ परि॑ष्वजीयसी दे॒वता॒ सा मम॑ प्रि॒या
bālā́d ékam aṇīyáskam utá ékaṃ náivá dṛ́śyate | tatáḥ pári-ṣvajīyasī devátā sā́ máma priyā́ ||
One is subtler than a hair; and one is not seen at all. From that thou claspest all about: that Goddess is my dear one.
एक बाल से भी छोटा है, और एक दिखता भी नहीं। उससे तुम सब तरफ़ से पकड़ लो, वो देवी मेरी प्यारी है।
