译文
"The sun is Brahman" — such is the teaching. Here is the exposition of it. In the beginning this was non-existent; it became existent, it grew, it turned into an egg, it lay for the space of a year — and it split open: the two halves of the shell became one of silver and one of gold.

The adhyāya's closing khaṇḍa: ādityo brahmety ādeśaḥ — "the sun is Brahman: such is the teaching" — and a cosmogony of the egg: asad evedam agra āsīt — "in the beginning this was non-existent" (unmanifest!): tat sad āsīt — "it became existent": samabhavat — it grew: āṇḍaṁ niravartata — "it turned into an egg"!: it lay for a year — and nirabhidyata — "it split": two shells — rajataṁ ca suvarṇaṁ ca — of silver and of gold!
The world-egg (brahmāṇḍa — "the egg of Brahman": the Sanskrit word for the universe itself!): being hatches like a chick: a year of brooding (terms are sacred!), then the cracking — and two hemispheres of shell. The first adhyāya brooded upon the Puruṣa "as an egg" (the Aitareya!); here the egg is the universe itself: the birth of the world is not an explosion but a hatching: the cosmos has a shell, a yolk, and — as we shall now see — a Nestling.
