Hymn 10.129

Stanzas: 7

Addressed to: The Origin of Things

Rishi: Others

This profound hymn delves into the mystery of creation, beginning before existence or non-existence, air or sky. It speaks of a singular "One" breathing in darkness, from which desire arose as the first seed of thought. The hymn questions who truly knows the origin of the cosmos, hinting at an ultimate, perhaps unknowable, overseer.
