YV 6.4c

k With eyes on every side, with a face on every side, With hands on every side, with feet on every side, The one god producing sky and earth Welds them together with arms, with wings. l What was the basis? Which and what his support? When producing earth [4] Viçvakarman, all-seeing, Disclosed the sky with his might. m What was the wood, and what the tree, Whence they formed sky and earth? O ye wise ones, inquire with your minds On what he stood as he supported the worlds. n Thy highest, lowest, Midmost abodes here, O Viçvakarman, In the offering do thou teach thy comrades, O faithful one; Do thou thyself sacrifice to thyself, rejoicing. o The lord of speech, Viçvakarman, Let us invoke this day to aid us [5], thought yoked for strength, May he delight in our nearest offerings, He with all healing, to aid (us), the doer of good deeds. p O Viçvakarman, waxing great with the oblation, Do thou thyself sacrifice to thyself rejoicing; May the others around, our foes, be confused; May our patrons here be rich. q O Viçvakarman, with the oblation as strengthening, Thou didst make Indra, the protector, free from scathe, To him the clans of old bowed in homage, That he might be dread, to be severally invoked. r To the ocean, the moving, The lord of streams, homage! To the lord of all the streams Do ye offer, to Viçvakarman, Through all the days the immortal offering. a O Agni, to whom ghee is offered, Do thou lead him forward; Unite him with increase of wealth, With offspring and with wealth. b O Indra, bring him to the fore, That he may be lord over his fellows; Unite him with splendour, That he may assign their shares to the gods. c Him, O Agni, do thou exalt In whose house we make the offering; To him may the gods lend aid, And he the lord of holy power. d May the All-gods thee [1], O Agni, bear up with their thoughts; Be thou to us most propitious, With kindly face, abounding in light.
