Sukta 9
को नु गौः क ए॑कऋ॒षिः किमु॒ धाम॒ का आ॒शिषः॑ । य॒क्षं पृ॑थि॒व्यामे॑क॒वृदे॑क॒र्तुः क॑त॒मो नु सः
kó nú gaúḥ ká ékaṛ́ṣiḥ kím u dhā́ma kā́ āśíṣaḥ | yákṣaṃ pṛthivyā́m ekavṛ́d ekaṛ́tuḥ katamó nú sáḥ ||
Who, pray, is the Cow? who is the One Seer? what, indeed, the Station? what are the Blessings? The Yakṣa on Earth, of single circuit, of single season— which, now, is He?
अब सवाल है, वो गाय कौन है? वो एक रिशि कौन है? यह सब कहाँ है? आशीर्वाद क्या हैं? धरती पर एक यक्ष है, एक चक्कर में, एक समय का। वो कौन है?
