O Dyāvāpṛthivī! O vast ones! Your embrace is boundless! Your union knoweth no limit! Ye are the measure of all space, the container of all existence!

Sky! Thou hearest all voices that cry out beneath thee. Thou art the listener, the witness, the one to whom all prayers ascend. When we raise our arms skyward and call upon the gods, thou receivest our words and beareth them upward to the realm of the immortals.

Earth! Thou feelest all who rest upon thee. Thou art the supporter, the nurisher, the one who receiveth all who fall. When we stumble and fall, thou art there to catch us. When we place our seeds in thy soil, thou dost provide the conditions for their growth.

Ye are never separate, though we sometimes speak of thee as if ye were distinct. In truth, ye are eternally embracing. The sky descendeth to kiss the earth at the horizon. The earth riseth to meet the sky. In that meeting place all things are born.

Thy children are countless! Look at all the creatures that dwell between you! The mighty mountains stand between you, their peaks nearly touching the sky whilst their roots sink deep into the earth. The forests grow in your arms. The waters flow from you and return to you in an endless cycle.

We tiny beings build our dwellings upon the earth and gaze upward at the sky. We are held in the cradle of your love. We are sustained by your generosity. We are guided by the light that descendeth from thee, O Sky! We are nourished by that which springeth forth from thee, O Earth!

O cosmic parents! Let not thy bond ever be loosened! Should the sky ever truly separate from the earth, all would perish. Should the earth ever refuse to support the weight of the sky, all would fall into chaos.

We offer thee our reverence and our gratitude! Continue forever thy eternal embrace! Let thy union bring forth new life, new growth, new beauty, age after age, world without end!
