I'm the supreme empress <br />and the bestower of prosperity to the devotees. <br />I'm the omniscient goddess <br />and the first among the adorable deities. <br />Gods have borne me in many forms, <br />me who has entered <br />in many creatures <br />and has existed in many places. <br /> <br />A person who sees, who takes breath <br />and who hears the word spoken, <br />verily eats food through me. <br />They who do not know this, <br />also remain by my side. <br />Listen, O Listener! <br />For you, I'm speaking some thing <br />filled with sincere faith. <br /> <br />I myself in sooth speak this <br />which is endearingly accepted <br />by gods and human beings. <br />Whomsoever I wish, <br />I make him powerful; <br />I make him a creator; <br />I make him a seer of incantation, <br />also make him excellently wise. <br /> <br />To slay the person <br />who expresses inimical attitude <br />towards the hymnal prayer, <br />I expand the bow for Rudra <br />by placing his arrow there. <br />For the worshipper, <br />I wage battle against the foes. <br />I've indeed encompassed <br />all the heavenly region <br />as well as the mundane world. <br /> <br />I've created the father, heaven, <br />over the head of this earth. <br />My abode of creation <br />is in the deep waters of ocean. <br />From there gradually <br />I've permeated all the worlds <br />and have touched the very heaven <br />with my forehead. <br /> <br />Like Wind, I verily blow <br />holding all the worlds. <br />Pervading beyond the heaven, <br />beyond this earth also, <br />so mighty I do stand <br />with my own valour grand. <br /> <br />= = = = = <br /> <br />(Translated From Original Sanskrit ‘Va k-Su ktam’, RigVeda by the poet himself]<br /><br />Harekrishna Meher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/incantations-of-speech/
