Sukta 2
हि॒र॒ण्य॒ग॒र्भः सम॑वर्त॒ताग्रे॑ भू॒तस्य॑ जा॒तः पति॒रेक॑ आसीत्। स दा॑धार पृथि॒वीमु॒त द्यां कस्मै दे॒वाय॑ ह॒विषा॑ विधेम
hiraṇyagárbhaḥ sám avartatā́gre bhūtásya jātáḥ pátir éka āsīt | sá dā́dhāra pṛthivī́m utá dyā́m kásmai devā́ya havíṣā vidhema ||
Hiraṇyagarbha at first came into being; born as the sole lord of what hath become. He upheld the earth and also the heaven: unto what God shall we with oblation do worship?
हिरण्यगर्भ आद्यकाळी प्रकट झाला; जे काही झाले त्याचा जन्मलेला एकमेव स्वामी तोच होता. त्याने पृथ्वी आणि द्यौ (स्वर्ग) धारण केली—आपण कोणत्या देवाला हवि (आहुती) देऊन पूजावे?
