आ यो योनिं देवकृतं ससाद क्रत्वा ह्यग्निरमृताँ अतारीत् । तमोषधीश्च वनिनश्च गर्भं भूमिश्च विश्वधायसं बिभर्ति ॥

Transliteration

ā yó yóniṃ deva-kṛ́taṃ sasā́da kratvā́ hy agnír amṛ́tān átārīt | tám oṣádhīś ca váninaś ca gárbhaṃ bhū́miś ca viśvá-dhāyasaṃ bibharti ||

Translation

ಯಾವನು ದೇವಕೃತ ಯೋನಿಗೆ—ದೇವರು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದ ಗರ್ಭಸ್ಥಾನಕ್ಕೆ—ಬಂದು ನೆಲೆಸಿದನೋ, ಆ ಅಗ್ನಿ ಕ್ರತ್ವಾ, ಚೇತನಶಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದ, ಅಮೃತರನ್ನೂ ಮೀರಿ ದಾಟಿದನು. ಅವನನ್ನು ಔಷಧಿಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ವನಗಳು ಗರ್ಭವಾಗಿ ಧರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ; ಭೂಮಿಯೂ ಅವನನ್ನು ವಿಶ್ವಧಾಯಸ—ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಧಾರಿಸುವವನು—ಎಂದು, ತನ್ನ ಸರ್ವವ್ಯಾಪಿ ಭವನದ ಗುಪ್ತ ಬೀಜವಾಗಿ ಹೊರುತ್ತದೆ.
