Recitation with translationRig Veda 9.74.5

Transliteration

arā́vīd aṃśúḥ sácamāna ūrmíṇā devāvyàṃ mánuṣe pinvati tvácam | dádhāti gárbham áditeḥ upástha ā́ yéna tokáṃ ca tánayaṃ ca dhā́mahe ||

Translation

ลำแสงคำราม เคลื่อนไปพร้อมคลื่น; มันทำให้ “ผิว” ผู้แสวงหาเทพของมนุษย์ (ธรรมชาติภายนอก) พองเต็ม. มันวางครรภ์ไว้ในตักของอทิติ (Aditi)—ด้วยสิ่งนั้น เราจึงยึดมั่นทั้งเด็กน้อยและวงศ์วาน และตั้งเรือนฐานในความไร้ขอบเขต.
