AV 4 1.1

ब्रह्म जज्ञानं प्रथमं पुरस्ताद् वि सीमतः सुरुचो वेन आवः । स बुध्न्या उपमा अस्य विष्ठाः सतश् च योनिम् असतश् च वि वः

brahma jajñānaṃ prathamaṃ purastād vi sīmataḥ suruco vena āvaḥ | sa budhnyā upamā asya viṣṭhāḥ sataś ca yonim asataś ca vi vaḥ

Vena uncovered the brahman that was born first in the east, out from the boundary, (the brahman) of fair radiance. He uncovered its foundational and its highest standings, and the womb of what is and of what is not.

AV 4 1.3

प्र यो जज्ञे विद्वान् अस्य बन्धुर् विश्वा देवानां जनिमा विवक्ति । ब्रह्म ब्रह्मण उज् जभार मध्यान् निचैर् उच्चैः स्वधा अभि प्र तस्थौ

pra yo jajñe vidvān asya bandhur viśvā devānāṃ janimā vivakti | brahma brahmaṇa uj jabhāra madhyān nicair uccaiḥ svadhā abhi pra tasthau

He who was born forth as the knowing one, the kinsman of this (world), declares all the births of the gods. He brought up the brahman out of the midst of brahman; downwards and upwards, by his own power, he strode forth.

AV 4 1.4

स हि विदः स पृथिव्या ऋतस्था मही क्षेमं रोदसी अस्कभायत् । महान् मही अस्कभायद् वि जातो द्यां सद्म पार्थिवं च रजः

sa hi vidaḥ sa pṛthivyā ṛtasthā mahī kṣemaṃ rodasī askabhāyat | mahān mahī askabhāyad vi jāto dyāṃ sadma pārthivaṃ ca rajaḥ

For he is the knower; he stands in the ṛta of the earth. He propped the two great world-halves in security. Great, he propped the great ones; being born, he propped apart the heaven, the earthly seat, and the (mid-)space.

स भुध्न्याद् आष्ट्र जनुषो ऽभ्य् अग्रम् बृहस्पतिर् देवता तस्य सम्राट् । अहर् यच् छुक्रं ज्योतिषो जनिष्टाथ द्युमन्तो वि वसन्तु विप्राः

He reached from the base up to the summit of birth; Bṛhaspati is the deity, the sovereign of that. Since the bright day was born of light, then let the shining inspired ones shine forth.

nūnaṃ tad asya kāvyo hinoti maho devasya pūrvyasya dhāma | eṣa jajñe bahubhiḥ sākam itthā pūrve ardhe viṣite sasan nu

Now the wise one impels that abode of the great primeval god. He was born thus together with many; now he sleeps in the former half (of the world), which is loosed apart.

Whoever shall come with homage to Atharvan the father, the kinsman of the gods, to Bṛhaspati — (may it be) that you become the begetter of all, a seer, a god whom the self-powerful one does not deceive.
