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 Rsis.

Father who made us, he who, as Disposer, knoweth all races and all things existing, Even he alone, the Deities' narne-giver,him other beings seek for information.

त आयजन्त द्रविणं समस्मा ऋषयः पूर्वे जरितारो न भूना। असूर्ते सूर्ते रजसि निषत्ते ये भूतानि समकृण्वन्निमानि॥

To him in sacrifice they offered treasures,-Rsis 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 devebhirasurairyadasti | kaṁ svidgarbhaṁ prathamaṁ 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?

तमिद्गर्भं प्रथमं दध्र आपो यत्र देवाः समगच्छन्त विश्वे। अजस्य नाभावध्येकमर्पितं यस्मिन्विश्वानि भुवनानि तस्थुः॥

tamidgarbhaṁ prathamaṁ dadhra āpo yatra devāḥ samagacchanta viśve | ajasya nābhāvadhyekamarpitaṁ yasminviśvāni bhuvanāni tasthuḥ ||

The waters, they received that germ primeval wherein the Gods were gathefed all together. It rested set upon the Unborn's navel, that One wherein abide all things existing.

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.
