3Father who made us, he who, as Disposer, knoweth all races and all things existing, Even he alone, the Deities' narne−giver,him other beings seek for information.

4To him in sacrifice they offered treasures,−Rsis of old, in numerous troops, as singers, Who, in the distant, near, and lower region, made ready all these things that have existence.

5That which is earlier than this earth and heaven, before the Asuras and Gods had being,− What was the germ primeval which the waters received where all the Gods were seen together?

6The waters, they received that germ primeval wherein the Gods were gathefed all together. It rested set upon the Unborn's navel, that One wherein abide all things existing.

7Ye will not find him who produced these creatures: another thing hath risen up among you. Enwrapt in misty cloud, with lips that stammer, hymn−chanters wander and are discontented.
