VEDIC HYMNS.
6. He to whom heaven and earth', standing firm by his will, look up, trembling in their mind; he over whom the risen sun shines forth :-Who is the God to whom we shall offer sacrifice ?
7. When the great waters? went everywhere, holding the germ (Hiranya-garbha), and generating light, then there arose from them the (sole) breath of the gods :—Who is the God to whom we shall offer sacrifice ?
8. He who by his might looked even over the waters which held power (the germ) and generated the sacrifice (light), he who alone is God above all gods 2 :-Who is the God to whom we shall offer sacrifice ?
9. May he not hurt us, he who is the begetter of the earth, or he, the righteous, who begat the heaven; he who also begat the bright and mighty waters :-Who is the God to whom we shall offer sacrifice ?
[10'. Pragâpati, no other than thou embraces all these created things. May that be ours which we desire when sacrificing to thee: may we be lords of wealth !]
