This is the most revered, exalted and revealing (yet complex) hymn of wonderful . Rigveda. This is the first creation hymn of Vedas. Let us taste the first verse of the seven verses of this celebrated hymn to know the beauty of Vedic sounds. _/\_ :) ! . Na Asad Aaseenno Sad Aseet Tadaaneem Na Aseed Rajo No Vyoma Paro Yat Kim Aavareevah Kuha Kasya Sharman Nambhah Kim Aaseed Gahanam Gabheeram (R.V.X.129.1) . The approximate translation of this verse and the following six verses is given below which indicates the quantum reality represented and its depth and extent. 1. The non-existent was not there and the existent was not there. Worlds were not there and space, and the above were not there. What was the envelopment ? Where ? was there any support ? was there water ñ unfathomable and deep ? 2. Neither the death was there nor the deathlessness. There were no signs of day or night. The one breathed without breath, by own impulse. Other than that there was no-thing what so ever. 3. Darkness was covered by darkness at the beginning. There was water in indistinguishable way. The empty-ness, covered by nothing, was created through power of ardour of that One. 4. In the beginning desire arose, which was the first seed of mind. The seers and visionaries having meditated in their hearts have discovered in their wisdom that being came from non-being. 5. A ray stretched out between Being and Non-being. What was above and what was below? Bearers of seed appeared and also their greatness. The seed bearer is above and the greatness is below (creator is above the creation). 6. Who really knows ? who in this world can proclaim it ? when this creation occurred ? From where it came ? Even the Gods came after the creation, so who knows whence it arose ? 7. From where this creation emerged ? Whether One held it firm or not ? HE the over-seer of this, in highest-heaven, HE surely knows ñ or may be he knows not ! . _/|\_ :) !
