बृ॒ह॒ती इ॑व सू॒नवे॒ रोद॑सी॒ गिरो॒ होता॑ मनु॒ष्यो॒३॒॑ न दक्षः॑ । स्व॑र्वते स॒त्यशु॑ष्माय पू॒र्वीर्वै॑श्वान॒राय॒ नृत॑माय य॒ह्वीः
bṛhatī iva sūnave rodasī giro hotā manuṣyo3 na dakṣaḥ svarvate satyaśuṣmāya pūrvīrvaiśvānarāya nṛtamāya yahvīḥ
Like the great son of Sun, the radiant one spoke; the man who is not unskilled. In heaven he established the truth-bringing, eastern Viśvānara for the ritual chant (yajña).
. Heaven and earth expanded as it were for their son. The experienced sacrificer recites, like a bard, many ancient and copious praises addressed to the graceful-moving, truly-vigorous, and all-guiding Vaiśvānara.
As the great World-halves, so are their Son's praises; skilled, as a man, to act, is he the Herald. Vaisvanara, celestial, truly mighty, most manly One, hath many a youthful consort.
