Translation -
Before all, the Lord having all the bright constellations in His womb, existed everywhere. He was the only lord of everything born. He holds this earth as well as the heaven. To that Lord we offer our oblations. (1)
Notes -
Hiranyagarbhah, the Lord who holds all the bright constellations in His womb as if. Also the golden foetus. According to legend, in the beginning, waters were created and on those waters seed of Brahma (Supreme God) was laid, which took the shape of a golden egg. From that egg Brahm, (quite distinct from Brahma) the Creator, was born. That golden foetus is mentioned as हिरण्यगर्भ | Also, हिरण्यपुरुषरूपे ब्रह्माण्डे गर्भरूपेण अवस्थित: प्रजापति:, the Lord Supreme of al] creatures, that resides in this universe as its womb. Prthivim, the earth. But Uvata and Mahidhara suggest, पृथिवी भू: भूरित्यादेरंतरिक्षनामसु पठितं, prthivi means antariksa also. Thus, earth, mid-space, and heaven all the three are included. Kasmai, for whom. Or, तस्मै, to that Lord. Also ka is the name of Ргајараб, so it may mean : to that Lord of all creatures. Or, ka means happiness; then it will mean : to that Lord, the bestower of happiness.
