Sukta 25
यथे॒यं पृ॑थि॒वी म॒ही भू॒तानां॒ गर्भ॑माद॒धे। ए॒वा द॑धामि ते॒ गर्भं॒ तस्मै॒ त्वामव॑से हुवे
yáthā iyáṁ pṛthivī mahī́ bhūtā́nāṁ gárbham ādadhé | evā́ dadhāmi te gárbhaṁ tásmai tvā́m aváse huve
As this great Earth hath taken to herself the embryo of all beings, even so do I implant for thee an embryo: for that end I call on thee for succour.
यथेयं पृथिवी मही भूतानां गर्भमादधे। एवा दधामि ते गर्भं तस्मै त्वामवसे हुवे।
