What god shall we with sacrifices worship?
Who gives the breath of life and vital power,
To whose commands the gods all render homage,
Whose shade is death and life immortal:
What god shall we with sacrifices worship?

All germs of life and generating Agni,
Then was produced the gods’ one vital spirit:
What god shall we with sacrifices worship?
Who with his mighty power surveyed the waters
