Sukta 10

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

जगता सिन्धुं दिव्यऽस्कभायद् रथंतरे सूर्यं पर्यपश्यत्। गायत्रस्य समिधस्तिस्र आहुस्ततो मह्ना प्र रिरिचे महित्वा

IAST Transliteration

jágatā síndhuṃ diví ’skabhāyad rathantaré sū́ryaṃ páry apaśyat | gāyatrásya samídhas tisrá āhús táto máhnā prá ririce mahitvā́

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

With Jagatī he propped the flood in heaven; in Rathantara he beheld the Sun all round. Three kindlings, they say, belong to the Gāyatra: thence, by greatness, it overflowed in majesty.

Translation

ଜଗତୀ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେ ଦିବ୍ୟ ଲୋକରେ ସିନ୍ଧୁ (ପ୍ରବାହ/ପ୍ଲାବନ)କୁ ଆଧାର ଦେଲା; ରଥନ୍ତରରେ ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟକୁ ସେ ସର୍ବଦିଗରେ ପରିଦର୍ଶନ କଲା। ଗାୟତ୍ରର ସମିଧ୍‌ (ଇନ୍ଧନ କାଠ) ତିନିଟି ବୋଲି କୁହନ୍ତି—ସେଠାରୁ ମହତ୍ତ୍ୱ ଦ୍ୱାରା ତାହା ମହିମାରେ ଉଛ୍ଛ୍ୱଳିତ ହୋଇ ପ୍ରବାହିତ ହେଲା।
