Mantra 20
Sukta 1
स्तनयित्नुस्ते वाक् प्रजापते वृषा शुष्मं क्षिपसि भूम्यां दिवि। तां पशव उप जीवन्ति सर्वे तेनो सेषमूर्जं पिपर्ति
stanayitnúḥ te vāk prájāpate vṛ́ṣā śúṣmaṃ kṣípasi bhū́myāṃ diví | tā́ṃ paśáva úpa jīvanti sárve téno u séṣam ū́rjaṃ piparti
Thy thunder is a Voice, O Prajāpati: as Bull thou hurlest might, in heaven and on the earth. By that all creatures live and are sustained; thereby, in sooth, he filleth up the remnant with nourishment.
Guruhmu ialah Suara, wahai Prajāpati; sebagai Banteng engkau melontarkan daya (śuṣma) di langit dan di bumi. Dengan itu semua makhluk hidup dan dipelihara; dengan itu juga, sesungguhnya, ia mengisi baki yang tinggal dengan tenaga-hayat dan zat (ūrj).
