Transliteration

ákra̍ndad a̱gní sta̱náyann iva dyáuḥ kṣā́mā re̍rihad vī̱rúdhaḥ sama̱ñján | sa̱dyó ja̍jñāno ví hīm i̱ddhó a̱khyad ā́ ródasī bhā̱núnā bhāty a̱ntáḥ

Translation

อัคนีคำราม ประหนึ่งท้องฟ้ากำลังกึกก้องด้วยฟ้าร้อง; เขาเลียแผ่นดิน กลืนกินพืชพรรณ และร้อยเรียงแดนทั้งหลายให้ประสานกัน ครั้นบังเกิดแล้วทันที—แท้จริง เมื่อถูกจุด—เขาก็ปรากฏเด่นชัด; ด้วยรัศมีของเขา เขาส่องสว่างอยู่ภายในสองโลก (ฟ้าและดิน)
