AV 7 6.1

अदितिर् द्यौर् अदितिर् अन्तरिक्षम् अदितिर् माता स पिता स पुत्रः । विश्वे देवा अदितिर् पञ्च जना अदितिर् जातम् अदितिर् जनित्वम्

aditir dyaur aditir antarikṣam aditir mātā sa pitā sa putraḥ | viśve devā aditir pañca janā aditir jātam aditir janitvam

Aditi is the sky, Aditi the midspace, Aditi the mother, she the father, she the son; all the gods are Aditi, the five peoples; Aditi is what has been born, Aditi what is to be born.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

I have sung praise to Diti's sons and Aditi's, those very lofty and invulnerable Gods. For far within the depths of ocean is their home and in the wor- ship paid them none excelleth these.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)

वाजस्य नु प्रसवे मातरं महीम् अदितिं नाम वचसा करामहे । यस्या उपस्थ उर्व् अन्तरिक्षं सा नः शर्म त्रिवरूथं नि यछात्

At the begetting of strength we make with speech the great mother, Aditi by name, in whose lap is the wide midspace: may she extend to us threefold shelter.
