ahaṁ kraturahaṁ yajñaḥ svadhā'hamahamauṣadham। mantro'hamahamevājyam ahamagnirahaṁ hutam ॥16॥
I am the ritual, I am the sacrifice, I am the offering to the ancestors, I am the medicinal herb; I am the mantra, I am the clarified butter, I am the fire, I am the act of offering.
pitā'hamasya jagato mātā dhātā pitāmahaḥ। vedyaṁ pavitramoṅkāra r̥k sāma yajureva ca ॥17॥
I am the father of this universe, the mother, the sustainer, and the grandfather; I am the object to be known, the purifier, the sacred syllable Om, and also the Rigveda, the Sāmaveda, and the Yajurveda.
