This is the ancient one, born from of old; this primeval one hath encompassed all around. Great is the Goddess—Dawn—shining forth: she, one by one, beholds distinctly the living that blink.
यह बहुत पुराना है, पहले से है। यह सब तरफ फैला हुआ है। यह एक बड़ी देवी है, सुबह की रोशनी जैसी। वो एक-एक करके सबको देखती है।
