अ॒हं सु॑वे पि॒तर॑मस्य मू॒र्धन् मम॒ योनि॑र॒प्स्व॑१न्तः स॑मु॒द्रे। ततो॒ वि ति॑ष्ठे॒ भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वो॒तामूं द्यां व॒र्ष्मणोप॑ स्पृशामि

I beget the Father on the summit of this world; my womb is in the waters, within the ocean. Thence I stand forth, wide-spread, over all the worlds; and yonder heaven too I touch with my greatness.
अहं सुवे पितरमस्य मूर्धन्; मम योनिरप्स्वन्तः समुद्रे। ततः वितिष्ठे भुवनानि विश्वोत; अमूं द्यां वर्मणोप स्पृशामि।
