Standing Over All the Worlds
Avatsara Kashyapa's second gayatri sukta. Following Soma's ancient brilliance, the priests have milked the bright milk, the seer that wins a thousand. He is to be seen like the sun; he runs to the lakes, along the seven slopes, up to heaven. Purifying, Soma stands above all the worlds like the deva Surya. For the feast of the Devas, Indu, devoted to Indra, flows round us bringing strength rich in cattle.
अ॒यं सूर्य॑ इवोप॒दृग॒यं सरां॑सि धावति ।
स॒प्त प्र॒वत॒ आ दिव॑म्
ayaṃ sūrya ivopadṛgayaṃ sarāṃsi dhāvati |
sapta pravata ā divam
अ॒यं विश्वा॑नि तिष्ठति पुना॒नो भुव॑नो॒परि॑ ।
सोमो॑ दे॒वो न सूर्य॑ः
ayaṃ viśvāni tiṣṭhati punāno bhuvanopari |
somo devo na sūryaḥ
परि॑ णो दे॒ववी॑तये॒ वाजाँ॑ अर्षसि॒ गोम॑तः ।
पु॒ना॒न इ॑न्दविन्द्र॒युः
pari ṇo devavītaye vājām̐ arṣasi gomataḥ |
punāna indavindrayuḥ
