Mundaka 2.1.6 Trans & Comms

yajñāśca sarve kratavo dakṣiṇāśca. saṁvatsaraśca yajamānaśca lokāḥ somo yatra pavate yatra sūryaḥ. (2.1.6) 

tasmāt – from that Brahman; ṛcaḥ – ṛk mantras; sāmaḥ – sāma mantras; yajūm̐ṣi – yajur mantras; dīkṣā – a vow made ceremonially; sarve – all; yajñāḥ – rituals (without the sacrificial pole); ca – and; kratavaḥ – rituals (with sacrificial pole); dakṣiṇāḥ – the knowledge of all types of dakṣiṇā; ca – and; saṁvatsaraḥ – the year; ca – and; yajamānaḥ – the knowledge about performer of ritual; ca – and; lokāḥ – worlds; yatra – where; somaḥ – the moon; pavate – moves; yatra – where; sūryaḥ – the sun (moves)

From that Brahman are born the ṛk mantras, the sāma mantras, the yajur mantras, ceremonial vows, all rituals without sacrificial pole and with sacrificial pole, knowledge of all types of dakṣiṇā, the year, the knowledge about yajamāna, and the worlds which the moon and the sun bless (where the light of the moon or sun reaches).

This mantra talks about the creation of things connected to the Veda.

~Dayananda


From Him are born the Vaidika hymns, the sacred chants, the sacrificial formulae, preliminary rites, sacrifices, ceremonies, sacrificial gifts, the time of the sacrifice, the sacrificer and the worlds, purified by the sun and the moon.

~Chinmayananda


From Him have come the Rik, the Saman, the Yajus, the Diksha, all sacrifices, the Kratus, gifts, the year, the sacrificer, and the worlds which the moon sanctities and the sun illumines. 

The scriptures and the religious rites prescribed by them all have a spiritual origin. 

~Nikhilananda
