Sukta 2
यं क्रन्द॑सी॒ अव॑तश्चस्कभा॒ने भि॒यसा॑ने॒ रोद॑सी॒ अह्व॑येथाम्। यस्या॒सौ पन्था॒ रज॑सो वि॒मानः॒ कस्मै॑ दे॒वाय॑ ह॒विषा॑ विधेम
yáṃ krándasī́ ávataś caskabhāné bhíyasāne ródasī́ áhvayethām | yásyā́sau pánthā rájaso vimānáḥ kásmai devā́ya havíṣā vidhema ||
Whom the two Worlds, trembling, upheld and, fearful, the two Firmaments invoked; whose is that measured pathway of the mid-air—unto what God shall we pay worship with oblation?
Dia yang oleh dua Dunia, gemetar, ditopang; dan oleh dua cakrawala, karena takut, diseru; yang memiliki jalan terukur di ruang-antara (rajas)—kepada Dewa manakah kami akan mempersembahkan pemujaan dengan havis (persembahan)?
