I pray to Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva (wielder of Pinaka) and Lord Vishnu (Ishana) for long life by offering ghee as oblation. विभ्राजमानः सरिरस्य मध्या-द्रोचमानो घर्मरुचिर्य आगात्। घोरानिहायुषेणोस मृत्युपाशानपर्नुद्य घृतम॑त्तु देवः ॥ २ ॥ Vibhrājamānah sarirásya madhyädröcanānō gharmarucirya agāt.

Nasadiya Suktam with meaning नास॑दासीनो सर्दासीत् तदानीम् । नासीद्रजो नो व्योंमा पुरो यत् । किमावरीवः कुह कस्य शर्मन्ने। अम्भः किमासीद्रह गभीरम् ।। १ ।।Näsadāsinnō sadasit tadānīm. Näsidrajō no vyömā par yat. Kimävarivah kuha kasya śarmann. Ambhal kimásīdgahanam gabhiram. Then (Before the act of creation), there was neither existence nor non-existence: there was neither the wind nor the heavens (There were neither the five elements nor the worlds made of them). None can fathom what existed then, where then did exist the primordial impulse of life (cosmic water)? (The sage who is a poet at heart is in total awe and wonder of the Supreme Lord who existed before creation.) न मृत्युरमृतं तर्हि न । रात्रिंया अर्द्ध आसीत् प्रक्रेतः । आनींदवातं स्वधया तदेकम् । तस्माद्धान्यन परः किं चनासे ।। २ ।।Na mṛtyuramṛtaṁ na tarhi na. Rātriyā ahná āsīt prakëtaḥ. Anīdavātagam svadhayā tadēkam. Tasmäddhānyana parah kim canāsa. Then, there was neither death nor immortality (since only that which is born will die and the idea of immortality arises only when there is death). There was neither day nor night (since sun himself was not born). The One existed without the second; (Ekam eva Advitiyam Brahma – There existed only One ‘Brahman’). It sustained itself without even the air to breathe (Remember, air is also part of the creation). तर्म आसीत् तम॑सा गूढमग्रें प्रकृतम् । सलिलं सर्वमा इदम् । तुच्छ्येना॒भ्वप॑िहितं यदासीत् । तमस॒स्तन्म॑हि॒नाना॑य॒तैकम् ।।३॥Tama āsīt tamasā gūdamagrë prakētam. Salilagas sarvamā idam. Tucchyēnābhvapihitam yadāš tapasastanmahina-jayataikam. There was only darkness wrapped in layers of darkness, and in the darkness was hidden the primordial impulse of life, born of the power of desire (Ekoham Bahusyam I am One, let me become many). It was this primary desire in the cosmic mind which was the seed of creation. This was the discovery of the wise sages who delved deep into their hearts (in the depths of intuition). तिरश्चीनो विर्ततो रश्मिरेषाम् । अधः स्विदासी ३दुपरि स्विदासी३त् । रेतोधा सन् महिमान आसन् । स्वधा अ॒वस्तात् प्रय॑तिः प॒रस्ता॑त् ।। ५ ।।Tiraścīno vitatō raśmirėsām. Adhah svidāsīduparies dāsīt. Rētōdhā asan mahimāna āsan. Svadhā avastat prayatih parastat.By this basic effort of the Creator, there arose matter propelled by awesome force. This fundamental matter expanded itself in all directions (This is an allusion to the Big Bang theory). को अद्धा बंद क इह प्रवर्वोचत् । कुत आर्जाता कुते इ विसृष्टिः । अर्वाग्देवा अस्य विसर्जनाय । अथा को वैद वन आब॒भूर्व ।। ६ ।।Kō addhā veda ka iha pravocat. Kuta ājatā kutá iyam visrstih. Arvärgdevā asya visarjanāya. Athā kō vềda yatá ābabhūva. But, who can know and who can say how this first act of creation happened? Even, the gods do not know, since they came into existence only after this act of creation. इयं विसृष्टियंत आबभूव । यदि वा दधे यदि वा न । यो अस्याध्यक्षः परमे व्योमन । सो अङ्ग वैद यदि वा २ वेदं ॥७ ॥Iyam visrstiryata ābabhūva. Yadi va dadhë yadi va na Yo asyādhyakşaḥ paramë vyoman. Sõ anga veda yadi vă na vědá. Whether anyone knows it or not, the whole creation arose from the Supreme Ruler. He is the Director who is present in every atom of His creation.

We are overwhelmed with Your gracious presence and adore you by singing Your praises Lord, we implore You to grant us devotion and wisdom. O mighty warrior, condescend to fight for us and grant us imperishable wealth. अभिख्यानों मघवन्नार्धमानान्त्सखै बोधि व॑सुपते सर्वांनाम् । रणं कृधिरणकृत्सत्य शुष्माऽभक्त चिदा भंभेजा राये अ॒स्मान् ॥॥ १२ ॥bhájā rāyē asmān.
