Sukta 25

यथे॒यं पृ॑थि॒वी म॒ही भू॒तानां॒ गर्भ॑माद॒धे। ए॒वा द॑धामि ते॒ गर्भं॒ तस्मै॒ त्वामव॑से हुवे

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 5.25.2

yáthā iyáṁ pṛthivī mahī́ bhūtā́nāṁ gárbham ādadhé | evā́ dadhāmi te gárbhaṁ tásmai tvā́m aváse huve

As this great Earth hath taken to herself the embryo of all beings, even so do I implant for thee an embryo: for that end I call on thee for succour.

ഈ മഹത്തായ പൃഥിവി സർവ്വഭൂതങ്ങളുടെ ഗർഭം തന്റെ ഉള്ളിൽ ധരിച്ചതുപോലെ, അതുപോലെ ഞാൻ നിനക്കായി ഗർഭം സ്ഥാപിക്കുന്നു; ആ ലക്ഷ്യത്തിനായി സഹായത്തിനായി നിന്നെ ഞാൻ ആഹ്വാനം ചെയ്യുന്നു।
