Meaning -
This moving earth, abiding by its mother, the atmospheric globe, and circumambulating its father, the bright sun, goes on and on in its orbit in space. (This mantra is a beautiful metaphor of the moving solar family. The sun is the father, the earth is child, and the globe of air and waters including the field of gravity is the mother. And this family of father, mother and child moves on and on in space in orbit. Another version, in Atharva-veda (20,48,4) translated by Pandit Satavalekara, interprets the metaphor as moon, the child, earth the mother, and sun the father.)
