The friends though endowed alike with eyes and ears, may yet be unequal in quickness of mind. Some look like ponds that reach the mouth or shoulder, others resemble lakes deep enough for bathing. When friendly Brahmins sacrifice together, with impulses from the spirit within, they leave one behind in their achievements, while some others though counted as Brahmins, stray away. Those who fare not forward in the direction, or know not the Brahmins, or prepares of sacrifice, they weave their threads n faulty fashion. All friends rejoice when their friend returns in triumph, being declared conquered in the assembly. He removes their sin, provides them with food. Ready is he for a dead of valour. One with perfection composes the verses, another sings in metrical measures. The third, the Brahmin, tells the wisdom of being, while still fourth lays down the rules of sacrifice.

Let us with our skills proclaim the birth the generation of Gods in hymns so that men to come in future know the truth of the past. Brahmanaspati, the Lord of the Holy World, with a blast smelted them together like a smith, in earlier times of Gods, and then Existence sprang from Non-existence. In the earliest times of Gods, Existence from Non-existence was born, thereafter came to being the realms from the Creating Power. Earth was born from this creating Power, and from her sprang the cardinal points. Daksha was born of Aditi and Aditi was Daksha’s child. Aditi did issue forth first, the Daksha’s daughter. After her followed the Gods, the blessed ones, sharers of life immortal. When ye, O Gods were found in yonder waters close closping one another, then from you a thick cloud of dust arose as from many dancing feet.

When ye, O Gods, like wonder-workers, caused all the worlds that exist to spring, then brought forth the Sun lying hidden in ocean. Eight are the sons of boundless Aditi who sprang forth from her body, with seven she joined the ranks of the Gods, the eighth, the sun, she cast aside, so with her seven sons Aditi went to meet the earlier age. She brought the Sun to earth that he might generate life and die again.

Once our Father, the Seer, sat down as Hotar-priest and offered all the existing worlds in oblation in order to achieve riches, and then he entered into later creations as archetypal. What was the place, what the substance? What supported him? How was it created? From what matter did Vishwakarman, seeing all, made the Earth and shaped the Heavens? He has countless eyes on all sides, and has as many faces, arms and feet untold in all directions, he the sole God created the Heavens and Earth and welded them together with his arms and wings. What was the wood, and what was the thee from which he Heavens and also the Earth were fashioned forth? Ponder, ye wise men, inquire in your hearts, on what did he stand when he created all these worlds?

Your haunts where you dwell, O Viswakarman, ever true to the law, your highest and lowest, thy mid-most and the lowest depths, reveal to your friends at sacrifice. Come ye blessed to our sacrifice and thus exalt it. O Maker of all, bring thou thyself here, growing strong with each oblation, come with Earth and Heaven. Let other men loiter here and there in folly, let us have here a liberal portion! Let us now invoke the Lord of Speech for our help, Viswakarman, the Designer of all things that exist. May he kindly listen to all our prayers, and grant us all his blessing, whose work is ever righteous!

The Father of vision, the wise, in spirit created in the manner of a ritual both the worlds. When the eastern ends were firmly fastened, then the earth and heavens in their turn were far extended. Most wise and exceedingly strong is Vishwakarman, the Designer, the Creator, the most high Presence. Men rejoice that their offsprings, rich in juice are accepted by One who is beyond the Seven Seers. He is our Father who made us, he is the Disposer, who knows all things and every creature. It was he alone who gave the Gods their names. To him come all beings seeking information. To him the Seers of old offered their sacrifice, and also sang in multitude groups as singers. It is he who fashioned this whole world when the distant, the near, and the lower spheres were set in their places.

That which is earlier than the heavens, this earth and both the Gods and demons, say what was that, the first primeral germ which the waters received when all the Gods together, they alone were watching? He was the primeral germ received by the waters, wherein all the Gods were gathered together. It rested upon the navel of the unborn the one and only one in whom all created things abide. You have no knowledge of him who created all these worlds and things for some other thing has come between you. The singers of hymns who ravish life in their go on chanting enwrapped in confusion and ignorance.
