Well borne by us
Thou becomest
The supreme growth
And expansion of our being.

Our earth's pleasant growths
Start away from their roots,
Our earth herself
trembles and vibrates
and even her mountain.

and garb themselves
with its densities,
and here
They break open the material hill.

to the knowledge of this secret thing
that it is the child
Who gives birth to his own mothers.

in a field
one shaping his weapons
who was golden-tusked and pure-bright of hue;

by their words, yea,

by their cry;

to the great heaven;
they found the Day and Swar and vision
and the luminous Cows.
Rig-Veda, 1,71.2
They who entered
into all things that bear right fruit
formed a path towards immortality;
earth stood wide for them
by the greatness of the Great Ones;
the mother Aditi with her sons
came for the upholding.
