1.Neither existence nor nonexistence was there, Neither matter nor the space around was there,
What covered it, where it was and who made it protected?
Why, that plasma, all pervading, deep and profound?

2.Neither death nor immortality was there and there was neither day nor night was in existence ,
But for that breathless there was one breathing on its own which in persistence,
There was nothing else there, surely nothing was there.

3.It was complete darkness concealed in darkness and an uninterrupted contentment of fluid Out comes in material form and shape
That one lying deep inside, on its own intent ending.

4.In the cosmic mind, all pervading Desires, the primal seed made its first appearances and from there the wise men, seeking deep in their heartfelt
Could see the link between ‘that is’ and ‘that is not’.

5.Reins of the link, a grid of crisscross lines , Holds all the seeds and mighty forces,
Microcosmic forces within and macro forces out above.

6.Who really knows, who can declared that when it started from and where ?
And where will this creations ends?

The Seekers sought it entered later –
No one knows when all this manifestation started  

7.That one, out of which the all the creation came may hold the reins or not,
Perceiving all from above, That one alone
Knows the beginning or may be not in knowing , 
No one knows , No one knows , No one knows !
