Rig Vedic Suktas

The Hiranyagarbha Sukta RV 10:121

In the beginning was the Divinity in his splendour,
manifested as the sole Lord of land, skies, water, space and that beneath
and he upheld the earth and the heavens.
Who is the Deity we shall worship with our offerings?
It is he who bestows soul-force and vigour,whose guidance all men invoke,
the Devas invoke whose shadow is immortal life-and death.
Who is the Deity we shall worship with our offerings?
It is he who by his greatness became the one King of the breathing and the seeing,
who is the Lord of man and bird and beast.
Who is the Deity we shall worship with our offerings?
It is he through whose glory the snow-clad mountains rose,
and the ocean spread with the river, they say.
His arms are the quarters of the sky.
Who is the Deity we shall worship with our offerings ?
It is he through whom the heaven is strong and the earth firm,
who has steadied the light and the sky’s vault,
and measured out the sphere of clouds in the mid-region.
Who is the Deity we shall worship with our offering?
It is he to whom heaven and earth, placed in the lightby his grace, look up,
radiant with the mind while over them the sun, rising, brightly shines.
Who is the deity we shall worship with our offerings?
When the mighty waters came, carrying the universal germ, producing the flame of life,
then dwelt there in harmony the One Spirit of the Devas.
Who is the Deity we shall worship with our offerings?
It is he who in his might surveyed the waters, conferring skill and creating worship-he,
the God of Gods, the One and only One.
Who is the Deity we shall worship with our offerings?
Father of the world - may he not destroy us who with Truth as his Law made the heavens and produced waters, vast and beautiful.
Who is the Deity we shall worship with our offerings?
Lord of creation ! no one other than thee pervades all these that have come into being.
May that be ours, for which our prayers rise, may we be masters of many treasures!
