Sukta 30
अ॒हं सु॑वे पि॒तर॑मस्य मू॒र्धन् मम॒ योनि॑र॒प्स्व॑१न्तः स॑मु॒द्रे। ततो॒ वि ति॑ष्ठे॒ भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वो॒तामूं द्यां व॒र्ष्मणोप॑ स्पृशामि
aháṃ suve pitáram asyá mū́rdhan máma yóniḥ apsv àntáḥ samudré | tató ví tiṣṭhe bhúvanāni víśvā utá amū́ṃ dyā́ṃ várṣmaṇópa spṛśāmi ||
I beget the Father on the summit of this world; my womb is in the waters, within the ocean. Thence I stand forth, wide-spread, over all the worlds; and yonder heaven too I touch with my greatness.
Aku memperanakkan Sang Bapa di puncak dunia ini; rahimku berada di dalam air, di dalam samudera. Dari sana aku berdiri, terbentang luas di atas segala alam; dan langit di sana pun kusentuh dengan kebesaranku.
