Rig Veda
cakṣuṣaḥ pitā manasā hi dhīro ghṛtam ene ajanan nannamāne yaded antā adadṛhanta pūrva ād id dyāvāpṛthivī aprathetām
The Father of the eye, the Wise in spirit, created both these worlds submerged in fatness. Then when the eastern ends were firmly fastened, the heavens and the earth were far extended.
viśvakarmā vimanā ād vihāyā dhātā vidhātā paramota saṃdṛk teṣām iṣṭāni sam iṣā madanti yatrā saptaṛṣīn para ekam āhuḥ
Mighty in mind and power is Visvakarman, Maker, Disposer, and most lofty Presence. Their offerings joy in rich juice where they value One, only One, beyond the Seven Rishis.
yo naḥ pitā janitā yo vidhātā dhāmāni veda bhuvanāni viśvā yo devānāṃ nāmadhā eka eva taṃ sampraśnam bhuvanā yanty anyā
Father who made us, he who, as Disposer, knoweth all races and all things existing, Even he alone, the Deities' name-giver, him other beings seek for information.
ta āyajanta draviṇaṃ sam asmā ṛṣayaḥ pūrve jaritāro na bhūnā asūrte sūrte rajasi niṣatte ye bhūtāni samakṛṇvann imāni
To him in sacrifice they offered treasures,-Rishis of old, in numerous troops, as singers, Who, in the distant, near, and lower region, made ready all these things that have existence.
paro divā para enā pṛthivyā paro devebhir asurair yad asti kaṃ svid garbham prathamaṃ dadhra āpo yatra devāḥ samapaśyanta viśve
That which is earlier than this earth and heaven, before the Asuras and Gods had being,- What was the germ primeval which the waters received where all the Gods were seen together?
tam id garbham prathamaṃ dadhra āpo yatra devāḥ samagacchanta viśve ajasya nābhāv adhy ekam arpitaṃ yasmin viśvāni bhuvanāni tasthuḥ
The waters, they received that germ primeval wherein the Gods were gathered all together. It rested set upon the Unborn's navel, that One wherein abide all things existing.
na taṃ vidātha ya imā jajānānyad yuṣmākam antaram babhūva nīhāreṇa prāvṛtā jalpyā cāsutṛpa ukthaśāsaś caranti
Ye will not find him who produced these creatures: another thing hath risen up among you. Enwrapt in misty cloud, with lips that stammer, hymn-chanters wander and are discontented.
