Rig Veda
prayuñjatī diva eti bruvāṇā mahī mātā duhitur bodhayantī āvivāsantī yuvatir manīṣā pitṛbhya ā sadane johuvānā
Urging to toil and making proclamation, seeking Heaven's Daughter comes the Mighty Mother: She comes, the youthful Hymn, unto the Fathers, inviting to her home and loudly calling.
ajirāsas tadapa īyamānā ātasthivāṃso amṛtasya nābhim anantāsa uravo viśvataḥ sīm pari dyāvāpṛthivī yanti panthāḥ
Swift in their motion, hasting to their duty, reaching the central point of life immortal, On every side about the earth and heaven go forth the spacious paths without a limit.
ukṣā samudro aruṣaḥ suparṇaḥ pūrvasya yonim pitur ā viveśa madhye divo nihitaḥ pṛśnir aśmā vi cakrame rajasas pāty antau
Steer, Sea, Red Bird with strong wings, he hath entered the dwelling-place of the Primeval Father. A gay-hued Stone set in the midst of heaven, he hath gone forth and guards mid-air's two limits.
catvāra īm bibhrati kṣemayanto daśa garbhaṃ carase dhāpayante tridhātavaḥ paramā asya gāvo divaś caranti pari sadyo antān
Four bear him up and give him rest and quiet, and ten invigorate the Babe for travel. His kine most excellent, of threefold nature, pass swiftly round the boundaries of heaven.
idaṃ vapur nivacanaṃ janāsaś caranti yan nadyas tasthur āpaḥ dve yad īm bibhṛto mātur anye iheha jāte yamyā sabandhū
Wondrous, O people, is the mystic knowledge that while the waters stand the streams are flowing: That, separate from his Mother, Two support him, closely-united, twins, here made apparent.
vi tanvate dhiyo asmā apāṃsi vastrā putrāya mātaro vayanti upaprakṣe vṛṣaṇo modamānā divas pathā vadhvo yanty accha
For him they lengthen prayers and acts of worship: the Mothers weave garments for him their offspring. Rejoicing, for the Steer's impregning contact, his Spouses move on paths or heaven to meet him.
tad astu mitrāvaruṇā tad agne śaṃ yor asmabhyam idam astu śastam aśīmahi gādham uta pratiṣṭhāṃ namo dive bṛhate sādanāya
Be this our praise, O Varuna and Mitra may this be health and force to us, O Agni. May we obtain firm ground and room for resting: Glory to Heaven, the lofty habitation!
