Hymn to Hiranyagarbha
(Rig-VedaMandala X, Sukta 121)
In the beginning there was the Golden Child in the Womb.
From the very birth he became the sole Lord of creation.
He upheld the earth and this heaven.
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [1]
He gives us our self, he gives us our strength!
His is the law that all the gods, all obey and adore.
Deathlessness is his shadow, and to him also Death belongs.
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [2]
He by his greatness became the one king
Of all that lives and breathes, indeed of the whole world.
He is the Master of the race of men and of animals.
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [3]
These snowy mountain-ranges are his greatness,
His are these oceans with all their sweet streams,
All these spaces are his, extended as his arms.
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [4]
Through Him the heavens are high and the earth firm.
Through Him the world of light is steadied and the world of Bliss beyond;
In the inner ranges He measures the extensions.
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [5]
Him the two firmaments in their vastness have transfixed:
They gaze at Him with their luminous mind:
There the sun rises up above and shines wide:
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [6]
As the vast waters came down filling the universe,
They held Agni in their womb and gave him birth;
Then came forth the One Force of all the Gods:
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [7]
In his greatness He saw the waters all around,
Holding in himself the clear perception and ushering the sacrifice,
He is One God, Lord over all the Gods:
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [8]
May He not hurt as, He who is the Father of the Earth,
He the Lord of Truth who brought forth the heaven,
He who brought forth the delightful wide Waters.
Who then is the God to whom we make our offering? [9]
O Lord of creatures, through none else, none else
Are all these worlds born everywhere;
Whatever prayer we offer to you, may that be granted to us,
May we become master of all delights. [10]
