“ To mighty Heaven and Earth I sing forth loudly: my wish goes out desirous and well knowing Both, at whose laud in synods, showing favour, the Gods rejoice them with the living mortal. 3. O Heaven and Earth, may your great law he faithful: he ye our leaders for our high advantage. To Heaven and Earth I offer this my homage, with food, O Agni, as I pray for riches. 4. Yea, holy Heaven and Earth, the ancient sages whose word was ever true had power to find you; And brave men in the fight where heroes conquer, O Earth, have known you well and paid you honour. ”

“ One All is Lord of what is fixed and moving, that walks, that flies, this multiform creation. 9. Afar the Ancient from of old I ponder, our kinship with our mighty Sire and Father,- Singing the praise whereof the Gods by custom stand on the spacious far-extended pathway. 10. This laud, O Heaven and Earth, to you I utter: let the kind-hearted hear, whose tongue is Agni, Young, Sovran Rulers, Varuna and Mitra, the wise and very glorious Adityas. 11. The fair-tongued Savitar, the golden-handed, comes thrice from heaven as Lord in our assembly. ”

“ Partners though parted, with far-distant limits, on one firm place both stand for ever watchful, And, being young for evermore, as sisters, speak to each other names that are united. 8. All living things they part and keep asunder; though bearing up the mighty Gods they reel not. ”
