Sukta 3

अ॒न्त॒रा द्यां च॑ पृथि॒वीं च॒ यद् व्यच॒स्तेन॒ शालां॒ प्रति॑ गृह्णामि त इ॒माम्। यद॒न्तरि॑क्षं॒ रज॑सो वि॒मानं॒ तत् कृ॑ण्वे॒ऽहमु॒दरं॑ शेव॒धिभ्यः॑ । तेन॒ शालां॒ प्रति॑ गृह्णामि॒ तस्मै॑

antárā dyā́ṃ ca pṛthivī́ṃ ca yád vyácaḥ téna śālā́ṃ práti gṛhṇāmi ta imā́m | yád antárikṣaṃ rájaso vimā́naṃ tát kṛṇve ’hám udáraṃ śevadhíbhyas | téna śālā́ṃ práti gṛhṇāmi tásmai ||

With that which is spread out betwixt heaven and earth, thereby I take to me, in due relation, this House for thee. What is the atmosphere, the measured expanse of the airy region—that I make a belly for treasures: thereby I take to me the House for him.

ด้วยสิ่งนั้นซึ่งแผ่กว้างอยู่ระหว่างฟ้ากับดิน ข้าพเจ้าจึงรับเรือนนี้ไว้ให้แก่ท่านโดยความสัมพันธ์อันสมควร. อันใดคืออันตรักษะ (antarikṣa) คือความกว้างที่ถูกกำหนดแห่งแดนธุลีอากาศ—สิ่งนั้นข้าพเจ้าทำให้เป็นครรภ์สำหรับทรัพย์สมบัติ; ด้วยสิ่งนั้นข้าพเจ้าจึงรับเรือนนี้ไว้ให้แก่ผู้นั้น.
