Sukta 4

ती॒र्थैस्त॑रन्ति प्र॒वतो॑ म॒हीरिति॑ यज्ञ॒कृतः॑ सु॒कृतो॒ येन॒ यन्ति॑ । अत्रा॑दधु॒र्यज॑मानाय लो॒कं दिशो॑ भू॒तानि॒ यदक॑ल्पयन्त

tī́rthaís taranti praváto mahī́r íti yajñakṛ́taḥ sukṛ́to yéna yánti | átrā́dadhuḥ yájamānāya lokáṃ díśo bhūtā́ni yád ákalpayanta

‘By the fords they cross the mighty slopes’: thus go the sacrifice-makers, the well-deserving, by that same way. Here have they established for the Sacrificer a world, when the Directions and the Beings set all in order.

“తీర్థముల ద్వారా వారు మహా వాలులను దాటుతారు”—ఇట్లే యజ్ఞకర్తలు, సుకృతులు (పుణ్యకర్మ చేసినవారు), అదే మార్గమున వెళ్తారు. ఇక్కడ వారు యజమానునకు ఒక లోకమును స్థాపించారు; దిశలును సమస్త భూతములును అన్నిటిని యథావిధిగా క్రమపరిచినప్పుడు.
