I wander with the Rudras and the Vasus, with the Ādityas and all the Gods.
I bear Mitra and Varuṇa upon me, I bear Indra and Agni, and the twin Aśvins too.

I carry the swollen soma within me, I bear Tvaṣṭar, Pūṣan, and Bhaga.
I bestow wealth upon the one who offers with care, who presseth and sacrificeth as is meet.

I am the queen, gatherer of treasures, foremost watcher among those worthy of worship.
The gods have spread me wide, in many abodes they have set me, and many things they have made to enter into me.

By me doth every man take food—who sees, who breathes, who heareth word spoken.
Unknowing, they rest upon me. Hearken, O ye who are hearkened unto: a sure saying I speak.

This I declare of mine own voice, cherished alike by gods and by men:
Whom I love, I make dreadful in might, a wise speaker, a seer, a knower of deep things.

I bend the bow for Rudra, that his shaft may strike down the scorner of the holy word.
For the folk I do battle. I have passed into Heaven and Earth.

I bring forth the Father upon his own head; my womb lieth in the waters, in the great sea.
From thence I spread into all the worlds, and yonder heaven I touch with my reach.

Like the wind I blow, sweeping across the worlds, beyond Heaven, beyond this very Earth—so vast am I in my becoming.
