1 To bring forth God's praise, sing thou a song as the angels do, wiser than thyself,-

This God, the All-Seeing, who guardeth well the thoughts of men like herds of kine.

Let all the others die away.

2 Him altogether praise I with the song and hymns our fathers sang, and with Nabhaka's eulogies,-

Him whose signs are the rivers' source, and the seven streams.

3 The nights He hath encompassed, and established the morns with wondrous art, visible over all is He.

His devoted servants, following His Law, have prospered the Three Dawns for Him.

4 He, visible o'er all the earth, established the quarters of the sky:

He measured out the eastern place, that is the fold of the Upholder: like a strong herdsman is God.

5 He who supports the worlds of life, He who well knows the hidden names mysterious of the morning beams,

He cherishes much wisdom, Sage, as heaven brings forth each varied form.

6 In whom all wisdom centres, as the nave is set within the wheel.

Haste ye to honour Trita, as kine haste to gather in the fold, even as they muster steeds to yoke.

7 He wraps these regions as a robe; He contemplates the tribes of the angels and all the works of mortal men.

Before the Lord all the angels follow His decree.

8 He is an Ocean far-removed, yet through the heaven to Him ascends the worship which these realms possess.

He overthrew their sorcery, and went up to heaven.

9 Ruler, whose bright far-seeing rays, pervading all three earths, have filled the three superior realms of heaven.

Firm is the seat of the Upholder: over the Seven He rules as King.

10 Who, after His decree, o'erspread the Dark Ones with a robe of light;

Who measured out the ancient seat, who pillared both the worlds apart as the Unborn supported heaven. Let all the others die away.
