अर्थMeaning
He thought, 'If I kill him, I shall have but little food.' He therefore brought forth by that speech and by that body (the year) all whatsoever exists, the Rik, the Yagus, the Sâman, the metres, the sacrifices, men, and animals. And whatever he (Death) brought forth, that he resolved to eat (ad). Verily because he eats everything, therefore is Aditi (Death) called Aditi. He who thus knows why Aditi is called Aditi, becomes an eater of everything, and everything becomes his food .

व्याख्याVyakhya
उसने विचार किया, 'यदि मैं इसे मार डालूँगा तो मेरा अन्न थोड़ा हो जाएगा।' तब उसने उस वाणी और उस शरीर (संवत्सर) के द्वारा यह सब रचा जो कुछ है: ऋचाएँ, यजुष्, साम, छन्द, यज्ञ, प्रजाएँ और पशु। उसने जो-जो रचा, उसी-उसी को खाने का निश्चय किया। वह सबको खाता (अत्ति) है, यही अदिति का अदितित्व है। जो अदिति के इस अदितित्व को इस प्रकार जानता है, वह इस सबका भोक्ता होता है और सब उसका अन्न बन जाता है।
