1 Looking down, on the ridge of the sky the Life-giver goes to highest heaven.

2 To the misty cloud filled with His rays the Great Mighty One goes encompassed round.

3 Creator and Ordainer, He is the Wind, He is the lifted cloud.

4 The Healer and the Great God, He is the Upholder of Law and the All-Seeing.

5 He is the Radiant One, and the Light-giver; He is verily the Great Judge.

6 Calves, joined, stand close beside Him, ten in number, with one single head.

7 From west to east they bend their way; when He mounts up He shines afar.

8 His are these banded hosts of servants: they move gathered close like porters' thongs.

9 To the misty cloud filled with His rays the Great Mighty One goes encompassed round.

10 His are the nine supports, the casks set in nine several places here.

11 He keeps watch over creatures, all that breathes and that breathes not.

12 This conquering might has entered Him. He is the sole, the simple One, the One alone.

13 In Him these attributes become simple and One.

14 Renown and glory, and force and cloud, the scholar's splendour, and food, and nourishment, come to him who knows this God as simple and One.

15 To him who knows this God as simple and One.

16 Neither second nor third, nor yet fourth is He called.

17 He is called neither fifth, nor sixth, nor yet seventh.

18 He is called neither eighth, nor ninth, nor yet tenth.

19 He watches over creatures, all that breathes and that breathes not.

20 This conquering might has entered Him. He is the sole, the simple One, the One alone.

21 In Him these attributes become simple and One.

22 Devotion and religious fervour, and renown and glory, and force and cloud, the scholar's splendour, and food and nourishment,

23 And past and future, and faith and lustre, and heaven and sweet offering,

24 come to him who knows this God as simple and One.

25 He, verily, causes death, He gives immortality.

26 He is the Healer, winner of wealth in the giving of wealth; in uttering homage, He is the sacrificial exclamation duly employed.

27 All on earth obey with reverence His high behest.

28 All constellations yonder, with the moon, are subject to His will.

29 He was brought forth from day: and day derives its origin from Him.

30 He was brought forth from night: and night derives her origin from Him.

31 He was produced from air: and air derives its origin from Him.

32 He was produced from wind: and wind derives its origin from Him.

33 From heaven was He produced: and heaven derives its origin from Him.

34 He sprang from regions of the sky: from Him the heavenly regions sprang.

35 He is the offspring of the earth: earth has her origin from Him.

36 He was produced from fire: and fire derives its origin from Him.

37 He is the waters' offspring: and from Him the waters were produced.

38 From holy verses was He born: from Him the holy verses sprang.

39 He is the son of sacrifice: and sacrifice was born from Him.

40 Sacrifice, and sacrifice's Lord, He was made head of sacrifice.

41 He thunders, He lightens, He casts down the thunder-stone.

42 For misery or happiness, for mortal man or rebel.

43 Whether You form growing plants, or send rain for happiness, or have increased the race of man,

44 Such is Your greatness, liberal Lord! A hundred bodily forms are Yours.

45 Millions are in Your million, or You are a billion in Yourself.

46 Stronger than immortality is the Mighty One; stronger are You than deaths.

47 Yea, stronger than malignity are You, O Lord of Might. Calling You Master, Sovereign Chief, we pay our reverence to You.

48 Worship to You whom all behold! Regard me, You whom all regard.

49 With food, and fame, and vigour, with the splendour of a scholar's rank.

50 We pay You reverence calling You strength, power, and might, and conquering force.

51 We pay You reverence calling You red power, the silvery expanse.

52 We pay You reverence calling You vast, wide, the good, the universe.

53 We pay You reverence calling You extension, compass, width, and world.

54 We pay You reverence, calling You rich, opulent in this and that, with wealth unceasing and secure.

55 Worship to You whom all behold! Regard me, You whom all regard;

56 With food and fame and vigour, with the splendour of a scholar's rank.
