The one who served as Hotar-priest, the seer, our father, offering up everything that exists— He, seeking through his desire a great treasure, came among people on Earth as the archetype.
What place did he take his stance on? What supported him there? How was it? From whence Visvakarman, seeing all, created the Earth by immense power, revealing the Heavens.
He who has eyes all around him, a mouth all around, arms and feet all around, He, the Single God, creating Earth and Heavens, unites them with his arms as wings.
What tree, what wood was formed there, from which they shaped the Earth and Heavens? You wise ones, inquire within your spirit where he stood when he established all things.
The nine highest, lowest, sacrificial natures, and these your central ones, O Visvakarman, Teach your friends at sacrifice, O Blessed One, and come yourself, exalted, to our worship.
Come yourself, exalted with offerings, O Visvakarman, Earth and Heavens to worship. Let other men live here in folly, let us have a rich and generous patron.
Let us invoke today, to aid our work, the Lord of Speech, swift-of-thought Visvakarman. May he hear kindly all our invocations, who gives all happiness for aid, whose deeds are right.
