YV 2.1g

m Thou containest all life, strengthen the earth; thou restest firm, strengthen the atmosphere; thou restest inviolable, strengthen the heaven. n Thou art the ashes of Agni; thou art the rubble of Agni. a 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! a Put forth thy strength like a spreading net; Come like a mighty king with thy retainers; Hurling thy swift net thou shootest arrows; Pierce the Raksases with thy keenest (darts). b Swiftly thy whirling flames descend; bring upward Follow them, glowing in thy fury; Thy heat, O Agni, thy winged (flames) with thy tongue, Unfettered, on all sides spread thy firebrands.
