<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This is hymn 125 of the tenth book of the ''Rigveda''. <br />
<br />
<br />
I move with Rudras and with Vasus, I move<br />
With Adityas and all Gods by My side,<br />
And both Mitra and Varuna I support.<br />
I support Indra, Agni and the Asvins.<br />
<br />
I uphold Soma, the destroyer of the foe.<br />
I sustain Tvastri and Pushan and Bhaga.<br />
I reward with wealth the offerer of oblation<br />
and the devout worshipper pouring the Soma.<br />
<br />
I am Queen, the Gatherer-up of treasures,<br />
the Knower, the First among the Holy Ones.<br />
The Devas have established in many places,<br />
Me who lives on many planes, in many a form.<br />
<br />
The man who sees, who breathes, and who hears what is spoken through Me alone obtains his sustenance.<br />
There are those who dwell by My side but know not.<br />
Hear you who has hearing: I tell you the sacred truth.<br />
<br />
Yes, I myself say this, - and these My words<br />
must needs be welcome to Devas and men -<br />
One whom I love I make mighty – make of him a Brahmana, a Rishi, a gifted man.<br />
<br />
For Rudra I stretch out the strings of His bow<br />
to slay the fierce enemies of the Realised Souls.<br />
And for the people, I engage in battle;<br />
and through the earth and the heaven I spread.<br />
<br />
And on the summit I bring forth the Father.<br />
My home is within waters, in the ocean,<br />
From where I extend to all existing worlds;<br />
and yonder heaven I touch with My forehead.<br />
<br />
And it is I who, like the wind, breathe forth Chaitanya and set all existing worlds in motion.<br />
Beyond heavens and beyond the earth am I,<br />
and all this have I become in My splendour!<br />
<br />
