Who is the god to whom we shall offer our sacrifice?
"May he not destroy us,--he the creator of the earth,--or he, the righteous, who created heaven; he who also created the bright and mighty waters.

Who is the god to whom we shall offer our sacrifices ?"[40] The oldest and most striking account of creation is in the eleventh chapter of the tenth Book of the Rig-Veda.

Colebrooke, Max Muller, Muir, and Goldstucker, all give a translation of this remarkable hymn and speak of it with admiration.

We take that of Colehrooke, modified by that of Muir:-- "Then there was no entity nor non-entity; no world, no sky, nor aught above it; nothing anywhere, involving or involved; nor water deep and dangerous.

Death was not, and therefore no immortality, nor distinction of day or night.
