TO A GOD UNKNOWN He is the giver of breath, and strength is his gift. The high Gods revere his commandments. His shadow is life, his shadow is death; Who is He to whom we shall offer our sacrifice?
Through His might He became lord of the living and glittering world And he rules th world and the men and the beasts Who is He to whome we shall offer our sacrifice?
From His strength the mountains take being, and the sea, and they say, And the distant river; And these are his body and his two arms. Who is He to whom we shall offer our sacrifice?
He made the sky and the earth, and His will fixed their places, Yet they look to Him and tremble. The risen sun shines forth over Him. Who is He to whom we shall offer our sacrifices?
He looked over the waters which stored His power and gendered the sacrifice. He is God over Gods. Who is He to whom we shall offer our sacrifice?
May He not hurt us, He who made the earth, Who made the sky and the shining sea? Who is the God to whom we shall offer our sacrifice? VEDA
