Griffith, [1896]\n1. I WILL declare the mighty deeds of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, of him who measured out the earthly regions,\n Who propped the highest place of congregation, thrice setting down his footstep, widely striding.\n 2 For this his mighty deed is Vi\u1e63\u1e47u lauded, like some wild beast, dread, prowling, mountain-roaming;\n He within whose three wide-extended paces all living creatures have their habitation.\n 3 Let the hymn lift itself as strength to Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, the Bull far-striding, dwelling on the mountains,\n Him who alone with triple step hath measured this common dwelling-place, long, far extended.\n 4 Him whose three places that are filled with sweetness, imperishable, joy as it may list them,\n Who verily alone upholds the threefold, the earth, the heaven, and all living creatures.\n 5 May I attain to that his well-loved mansion where men devoted to the Gods are happy.\n For there springs, close akin to the Wide-Strider, the well of meath in Vi\u1e63\u1e47u's highest footstep.\n 6 Fain would we go unto your dwelling-places where there are many-horned and nimble oxen,\n For mightily, there, shineth down upon us the widely-striding Bull's sublimest mansion.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN CLIV.
