Rig Veda 5.47.2: Mandala 5, Sukta 47, Mantra 2

Sukta 5.47

Rishi: Atri (Ātreya tradition)
Devata: Poetic/cosmic: the ‘paths’ and the immortal center (amṛtasya nābhi) as focal reality; indirectly Dyāvā-Pṛthivī
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; confirm in critical edition)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अजिरासस्तदप ईयमाना आतस्थिवांसो अमृतस्य नाभिम् । अनन्तास उरवो विश्वतः सीं परि द्यावापृथिवी यन्ति पन्थाः ॥

Transliteration

ajirā́sas tád apa ī́yamānā ātásthivāṃso amṛ́tasya nā́bhim | anantā́sa urávo viśvátas sīm pári dyā́vā-pṛthivī́ yanti pánthāḥ ||

Translation

ते अति वेगाने त्या ध्येयाकडे जातात; अमृताच्या नाभि-स्थानी त्यांनी आपले स्थान घेतले आहे. अनंत व विशाल असे पंथ सर्वत्र चालतात—द्यावा-पृथिवीला परितः वेढून; हेच व्यापक ‘ऋत’ व्यवस्थेत गमनाचे मार्ग आहेत.
