Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
विश्वेदेते जनिमा सं विविक्तो महो देवान्बिभ्रती न व्यथेते । एजद्ध्रुवं पत्यते विश्वमेकं चरत्पतत्रि विषुणं वि जातम् ॥
Transliteration
viśvā́d eté jánimā sáṃ vivikto mahó devā́n bíbhratī ná vyathete | éjad dhruváṃ patyate viśvám ékaṃ cárat patatrí víṣuṇaṃ ví jātám ||
Translation
All these births are set apart in their order; bearing the great gods, the two do not falter. The moving leans upon the unmoving; the whole is one. The winged that moves goes forth, variously born and widely manifested.
