इ॒यं वेदिः॒ परो॒ अन्तः॑ पृथि॒व्या अ॒यं सोमो॒ वृष्णो॒ अश्व॑स्य॒ रेतः॑ । अ॒यं य॒ज्ञो विश्व॑स्य॒ भुव॑नस्य॒ नाभि॑र्ब्र॒ह्मायं वा॒चः प॑र॒मं व्योऽम

This altar is the uttermost end of Earth; this Soma is the seed of the virile Horse. This sacrifice is the navel of all the world of being; this is the Brahman, Speech’s highest firmament.
यह वेदी ज़मीन का आख़री किनारा है। यह सोम घोड़े के वीर्य जैसा है। यह यज्ञ पूरी दुनिया का नाभी है, सबका सेंटर है। यह वही ब्रह्मन है, सबसे बड़ी बात, आसमान से भी ऊपर।
