धर्ता दिवो रजसस्पृष्ट ऊर्ध्वो रथो न वायुर्वसुभिर्नियुत्वान् । क्षपां वस्ता जनिता सूर्यस्य विभक्ता भागं धिषणेव वाजम् ॥

ସେ ଦ୍ୟୌର ଧର୍ତ୍ତା; ମଧ୍ୟଲୋକର ପୃଷ୍ଠରେ ସ୍ପୃଷ୍ଟ ହୋଇ ଅବସ୍ଥିତ। ରଥ ପରି ଊର୍ଧ୍ୱକୁ ଉଠୁଥିବା, ବସୁମାନଙ୍କ ସହ ନିୟୁତ୍ୱାନ ବାୟୁ ସଦୃଶ। ସେ ରାତ୍ରିମାନଙ୍କର ବସ୍ତା (ବୁଣନ୍ତା) ଏବଂ ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟର ଜନିତା; ସେ ଭାଗକୁ ବିଭକ୍ତ କରେ, ଧିଷଣା ପରି ବାଜ (ବଳ-ସମୃଦ୍ଧି) ବଣ୍ଟନ କରେ—ଆମ ଭବନ ପାଇଁ।
