Sukta 2
ब्रह्म देवाँ अनु क्षियति ब्रह्म दैवजनीर्विशः । ब्रह्मेदमन्यन्नक्षत्रं ब्रह्म सत् क्षत्रमुच्यते
bráhma devā́ṃ ánu kṣiyati bráhma daívajanīr víśaḥ | bráhmé́dam anyán nákṣatraṃ bráhma sát kṣatrám ucyate
Brahman it is whereby the Gods abide in ordered course; Brahman whereby the god-born peoples stand. Brahman upholds this other realm, the starry host; Brahman is that whereby rightful sovereignty is named.
Rishi: Atharvanic speculative attribution (AV 10.2).
