Atharva Veda 4.30.8: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 30, Mantra 8

Sukta 30

अ॒हमे॒व वात॑ इव॒ प्र वा॑म्या॒रभ॑माणा॒ भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वा॑ । प॒रो दि॒वा प॒र ए॒ना पृ॑थि॒व्यौताव॑ती महि॒म्ना सं ब॑भूव

ahám eva vā́ta iva prá vāmi ārabhámāṇā bhúvanāni víśvā | paró divā́ pará enā́ pṛthivyā́utā́vatī mahimnā́ sáṃ babhūva

I verily, like the Wind, blow forth, laying hold upon all the worlds entire. Beyond the heaven, beyond this earth—yea, by her aiding majesty—he hath wholly come to be.

ഞാൻ തന്നേ, വായുവിനെപ്പോലെ, മുന്നോട്ട് വീശിപ്പുറപ്പെടുന്നു—സകല ലോകങ്ങളെയും മുഴുവനായി പിടിച്ചുകൊണ്ട്. ദ്യൗവിനും അപ്പുറം, ഈ പൃഥിവിക്കും അപ്പുറം—അതെ, അവളുടെ സഹായക മഹിമയാൽ—അവൻ പൂർണ്ണമായി പ്രാദുർഭവിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
