Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 7 — Chapter 99

RV 7 99.1

परो मात्रया तन्वा वृधान न ते महित्वम् अन्व् अश्नुवन्ति । उभे ते विद्म रजसी पृथिव्या विष्णो देव त्वम् परमस्य वित्से

paro mātrayā tanvā vṛdhāna na te mahitvam anv aśnuvanti | ubhe te vidma rajasī pṛthivyā viṣṇo deva tvam paramasya vitse

Grown beyond measure with your body — they do not reach up to your greatness. We know both of your spaces, (those) of the earth; you, Viṣṇu the god, know the furthest one.

न ते विष्णो जायमानो न जातो देव महिम्नः परम् अन्तम् आप । उद् अस्तभ्ना नाकम् ऋष्वम् बृहन्तꣳ दाधर्थ प्राचीꣳ ककुभम् पृथिव्याः

na te viṣṇo jāyamāno na jāto deva mahimnaḥ param antam āpa | ud astabhnā nākam ṛṣvam bṛhantaṁ dādhartha prācīṁ kakubham pṛthivyāḥ

Neither one being born nor one (already) born has reached, O god Viṣṇu, the far limit of your greatness. You propped up the lofty, high vault (of heaven); you upheld the eastern peak of the earth.
