Transliteration
mūrdhā bhuvo bhavati naktam agnis tataḥ sūryo jāyate prātar udyan | māyām ū tu yajñiyānām etām apo yat tūrṇiś carati pra-jānan ||
Translation
Pada waktu malam, Agni menjadi kemuncak bagi kewujudan kita; daripadanya Surya lahir, terbit pada fajar. Inilah sesungguhnya māyā—kerja ajaib—daripada daya-daya yajñiya: apabila Air-Airan (Āpaḥ) bergerak pantas, mengetahui kelahiran-kelahiran dan menzahirkannya.
