padyā vaste pururūpā vapūṃṣyūrdhvā tasthau tryaviṃ rerihāṇā ṛtasya sadma vi carāmi vidvānmahaddevānāmasuratvamekam
Footed, shaped like a man, the cattle stand above; the threefold streams flowed. I spread the seat of law, the wise — greatness of gods and men alone.
The earth wears bodies of many forms; she abides on high cherishing her year and a half old (calf); knowing the abode of the truth (the sun), I offer worship; great and unequalled is the might of the gods.
Earth weareth beauties manifold: uplifted, licking her Calf of eighteen months, she standeth. Well-skilled I seek the seat of law eternal. Great is the Gods' supreme and sole dominion.
