Anuvaka 13

1a They yoke their minds, and yoke their thoughts,     The priests of the mighty wise priest;     He alone, who knows the way, ordains their priestly functions;     Great is the praise of the god Savitr.     b With fair voice, O god, do thou address the dwelling.     c Ye two, famed among the gods, make proclamation among the gods.     d For us be born a hero of great deeds,     On whom we may all depend,     Who shall be ruler over many.     e Over this Visnu strode;     Thrice did he set down his foot;     (All) is gathered [1] in its dust.     f So then be ye two rich in food, in cows,     In good grass, ye that are famous, for man     These two firmaments Visnu held asunder;     He holdeth the earth on all sides with pegs.     g Come ye two then forward, ordaining the offering; bring upward the sacrifice; do not falter; there rest on the height of the earth.     h From the sky, O Visnu, or from the earth,     Or from the great (sky), or from the atmosphere,     Fill thy hands with many good things,     Give to us [2] from right and from left.     i I shall proclaim the mighty deeds of Visnu     Who meted out the spaces of the earth,     Who established the highest abode,     Stepping thrice, the far-goer.     k Thou art the forehead of Visnu; thou art the back of Visvu.     I Ye two are the corners' of Visnu's mouth.     m Thou art the thread of Visnu.     n Thou art the fixed point of Visnu.     o Thou art of Vishu; to Visnu thee!
