10.129.1
नास॑दासी॒न्नो सदा॑सीत्त॒दानीं॒ नासी॒द्रजो॒ नो व्यो॑मा प॒रो यत् ।
किमाव॑रीवः॒ कुह॒ कस्य॒ शर्म॒न्नम्भः॒ किमा॑सी॒द्गह॑नं गभी॒रम् ॥
Then there was neither being nor non-being; there was no air-space, nor the sky beyond it. What was enveloped, where, and in whose shelter? Was it the deep, unfathomable water?
10.129.2
न मृ॒त्युरा॑सीद॒मृतं॒ न तर्हि॒ न रात्र्या॒ अह्न॑ आसीत्प्रके॒तः ।
आनी॑दवा॒तं स्व॒धया॒ तदेकं॒ तस्मा॑द्धा॒न्यन्न प॒रः किं च॒नास॑ ॥
Then there was neither death nor immortality; there was no distinction of night and day. That One breathed without air, by its own power; apart from it there was nothing beyond.
10.129.3
तम॑ आसी॒त्तम॑सा गू॒ळ्हमग्रे॑ अप्रके॒तं स॑लि॒लं सर्व॑मा इ॒दम् ।
तु॒च्छ्येना॒भ्वपि॑हितं॒ यदासी॒त्तप॑स॒स्तन्म॑हि॒नाजा॑य॒तैक॑म् ॥
In the beginning there was darkness hidden by darkness; all this was unmarked water. That which lay enclosed in emptiness was born as One by the greatness of austerity.
10.129.4
काम॒स्तदग्रे॒ सम॑वर्त॒ताधि॒ मन॑सो॒ रेतः॑ प्रथ॒मं यदासी॑त् ।
स॒तो बन्धु॒मस॑ति॒ निर॑विन्दन्हृ॒दि प्र॒तीष्या॑ क॒वयो॑ मनी॒षा ॥
In the beginning desire arose in it, the first seed of mind. Seers, searching in their hearts with wisdom, found the bond of what is in what is not.
10.129.5
ति॒र॒श्चीनो॒ वित॑तो र॒श्मिरे॑षाम॒धः स्वि॑दा॒सी3दु॒परि॑ स्विदासी3त् ।
रे॒तो॒धा आ॑सन्महि॒मान॑ आसन्त्स्व॒धा अ॒वस्ता॒त्प्रय॑तिः प॒रस्ता॑त् ॥
Their cord was stretched across. What was below, and what was above? There were seed-bearers, there were mighty powers; below was self-power, above was impulse.
10.129.6
को अ॒द्धा वे॑द॒ क इ॒ह प्र वो॑च॒द्कुत॒ आजा॑ता॒ कुत॑ इ॒यं विसृ॑ष्टिः ।
अ॒र्वाग्दे॒वा अ॒स्य वि॒सर्ज॑ने॒नाथा॒ को वे॑द॒ यत॑ आब॒भूव॑ ॥
Who truly knows? Who here will declare whence it was born, whence this emission came? The gods are later than this creation; so who knows whence it came into being?
10.129.7
इ॒यं विसृ॑ष्टि॒र्यत॑ आब॒भूव॒ यदि॑ वा द॒धे यदि॑ वा॒ न ।
यो अ॒स्याध्य॑क्षः पर॒मे व्यो॑म॒न्त्सो अ॒ङ्ग वे॑द॒ यदि॑ वा॒ न वेद॑ ॥
Whence this creation arose, whether it was held firm or not — the overseer of it in the highest heaven, he indeed knows; or perhaps he does not know.
