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)
Note
According to the ritualists, the sacrificer offers two mahiman (grandeur) libations, so called from the name of the golden vessels in which they are presented. It is curious to note that the mantra selected for this purpose contains the word 'hiranya' (gold), though the meaning of the mantra as a whole is not related to gold at all. The verse is repeated from XIII. 4.
