Meaning

Verse 1: The Goddess declares that she moves and lives together with the Rudras, the Vasus, the Adityas, and all the universal gods — she is one with every divine power, not separate from any of them.

Verse 2: She sustains Soma, Tvashtar, Pushan and Bhaga, and bestows wealth on the devoted seeker who offers oblations with faith.

Verse 3: She proclaims herself the sovereign queen, the gatherer of all treasures, the first among those worthy of worship — established by the gods in many places, pervading everything abundantly.

Verse 4: Through her, all beings eat, see, breathe and hear; those who fail to recognise her dwindle away, while she calls out to be heard and heeded.

Verse 5: She herself speaks this truth, cherished by gods and humans alike; whomever she favours, she makes powerful — a sage, a seer, or one of great wisdom.

Verse 6: She strings the bow for Rudra so he may strike down the hater of sacred wisdom; she brings peace to people and pervades both heaven and earth.

Verse 7: She declares that she gave birth to the father of this world at its very summit, her source deep within the cosmic waters — from there she spreads through all the worlds and touches the heavens above.

Verse 8: She compares herself to the wind that breathes life into all the worlds as it begins to move — beyond heaven, beyond this earth, so vast has she become in her greatness.
