     वह था हिरण्यगर्भ सृष्टि से पहले विद्यमान
     वही तो सारे भूत जात का स्वामी महान
     जो है अस्तित्वमान धरती-आसमान धारण कर
     ऐसे किस देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

     vah thā hiraṇyagarbh sŕṣṭi se pahle vidyamān
     vahī to sāre bhūt jāt kā svāmī mahān
     jo hai astitvamān dhartī-āsmān dhāraṇ kar
     aise kis devtā kī upāsnā karẽ ham havi dekar

     [original: हिरण्यगर्भस् सम् अवर्तताग्रे भूतस्य जातः पतिर् एक आसीत् । स दाधार पृथिवीं द्याम् उतेमां कस्मै देवाय हविषा विधेम ॥]

     hiraṇyagarbhas sam avartatāgre bhūtasya jātaḥ patir eka āsīt. sa dādhāra pṛthivīṃ dyām utemāṃ kasmai devāya haviṣā vidhema.

     He was Hiraṇyagarbha, existent before the creation
     The great Lord of all created beings
     The existent one holding up the Earth and the Sky
     Which such God shall we venerate by giving oblations
