Atharva Veda 2.1: Glorification of the prime cause of all things

Vena beholds That Highest which lies hidden, wherein this All resumes one form and fashion.
Thence Prisni milked all life that had existence: the hosts that know the light with songs extolled her.

Knowing Eternity, may the Gandharva declare to us that highest secret station.
Three steps thereof lie hidden in the darkness: he who knows these shall be the father's father.

He is our kinsman, father, and begetter: he knows all beings and all Ordinances.
He only gave the Gods their appellations: all creatures go to him to ask direction.

I have gone forth around the earth and heaven, I have approached the first-born Son of Order.
He, putting voice, as 'twere, within the speaker, stands in the world, he, verily is Agni.

I round the circumjacent worlds have travelled to see the far-extended thread of Order.
Wherein the Gods, obtaining life eternal, have risen upward to one common birthplace.
