सूक्त १९०

ऋतं च सत्यं चाभीद्धात्तपसोऽध्यजायत। ततो रात्र्यजायत ततः समुद्रो अर्णवः॥

ṛtaṁ ca satyaṁ cābhīddhāttapaso'dhyajāyata | tato rātryajāyata tataḥ samudro arṇavaḥ ||

FROM Fervour kindled to its height Eternal Law and Truth were born: Thence was the Night produced, and thence the billowy flood of sea arose.

समुद्रादर्णवादधि संवत्सरो अजायत। अहोरात्राणि विदधद्विश्वस्य मिषतो वशी॥

samudrādarṇavādadhi saṁvatsaro ajāyata | ahorātrāṇi vidadhadviśvasya miṣato vaśī ||

From that same billowy flood of sea the Year was afterwards produced, Ordainer of the days nights, Lord over all who close the eye.

सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ धाता यथापूर्वमकल्पयत्। दिवं च पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षमथो स्वः॥

sūryācandramasau dhātā yathāpūrvamakalpayat | divaṁ ca pṛthivīṁ cāntarikṣamatho svaḥ ||

Dhatar, the great Creator, then formed in due order Sun and Moon. He formed in order Heaven and Earth, the regions of the air, and light.
