Rig Veda 10.125

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

I travel with the Rudras and the Vasus, with the Adityas and All-Gods I wander. I hold aloft both Varuna and Mitra, Indra and Agni, and the Pair of Asvins.

2
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

I cherish and sustain high-swelling Soma, and Tvashtar I support, Pushan, and Bhaga. I load with wealth the zealous sacrificer who pours the juice and offers his oblation

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

I am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, first of those who merit worship. Thus Gods have stablished me in many places with many homes to enter and abide in.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them,-each man who sees, breathes, hears the word outspoken They know it not, but yet they dwell beside me. Hear, one and all, the truth as I declare it.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

I, verily, myself announce and utter the word that Gods and men alike shall welcome. I make the man I love exceeding mighty, make him a sage, a Rishi, and a Brahman.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

I bend the bow for Rudra that his arrow may strike and slay the hater of devotion. I rouse and order battle for the people, and I have penetrated Earth and Heaven.

7
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

On the world's summit I bring forth the Father: my home is in the waters, in the ocean. Thence I extend o'er all existing creatures, and touch even yonder heaven with my forehead.

8
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

I breathe a strong breath like the wind and tempest, the while I hold together all existence. Beyond this wide earth and beyond the heavens I have become so mighty in my grandeur.
