Sukta 2
यं क्रन्द॑सी॒ अव॑तश्चस्कभा॒ने भि॒यसा॑ने॒ रोद॑सी॒ अह्व॑येथाम्। यस्या॒सौ पन्था॒ रज॑सो वि॒मानः॒ कस्मै॑ दे॒वाय॑ ह॒विषा॑ विधेम
yáṃ krándasī́ ávataś caskabhāné bhíyasāne ródasī́ áhvayethām | yásyā́sau pánthā rájaso vimānáḥ kásmai devā́ya havíṣā vidhema ||
Whom the two Worlds, trembling, upheld and, fearful, the two Firmaments invoked; whose is that measured pathway of the mid-air—unto what God shall we pay worship with oblation?
ผู้ซึ่งสองโลกสั่นสะท้านแล้วค้ำจุนไว้ และฟ้ากับดิน (โรทสี) ด้วยความหวาดกลัวจึงร้องเรียกหา; ผู้ซึ่งมีหนทางอันถูกกำหนดวัดไว้แห่งอากาศธาตุ (รชัส)—เราควรถวายบูชาด้วยเครื่องสังเวยแด่เทพองค์ใดเล่า?
