Transliteration

ā yó yóniṃ deva-kṛ́taṃ sasā́da kratvā́ hy agnír amṛ́tān átārīt | tám oṣádhīś ca váninaś ca gárbhaṃ bhū́miś ca viśvá-dhāyasaṃ bibharti ||

Translation

Тот, кто пришёл к лону, сотворённому богами, — силой крáту Агни перешёл за пределы бессмертных. Его травы и леса носят как зародыш, и Земля тоже носит его — всеподдерживающего — как сокрытое семя своего вселенского становления.
