The Mighty Earth. from Rig Veda V.84

1- The mighty burden of the mountains' bulk
rest; Earth, upon your shoulders; rich in torrents,
you germinate the seed with quickening power.

O far flung Earth, the bright one.
Like a neighing steed you drive abroad your storm clouds.
3- You in your sturdy strength hold fast the forrest,
clamping the trees all firmly to the ground,
when rains and lightening issue from the clouds.
