That's only the first hemistich, whereas below (Wilson) is the whole
verse, or stuff:
(1)Rco akSare parame vyoman
yasmin devaa adhi vishve niSeduH
(2)yas tan na veda kim Rcaa kariSyati
ya it tad vidus ta ime samaasate
[pada-paaTha = same without sandhi:
RcaH; akSare; parame; vyoman;
yasmin; devaaH; adhi; vishve; niSeduH;
yaH; tat; na; veda; kim; Rcaa; kariSyati;
ye; it; tat; viduH; te; ime; samaasate]
I might "translate" the first hemi e.g. like this:
Richas (the verses of Veda, or whatever) [exist, or stuff;
there is actually no predicate verb in the first phrase]
in the indestructible (akSare; akSara also means a Sanskrit
syllable) in the highest, or stuff (parame) "heaven" (vyoman;
it's strange that's an irregular[?] locative form, because
with a regular form, vyomani, there would be 11 syllables
on this line, which is the normal count of a triSTup verse...),
where (yasmin) all (vishve) devas (devaaH) reside (adhi...niSeduH).
