1. O Usas, strong with strength, endowed
witli knowledge, accept the singer's praise, O wealthy Lady.
Thou, Goddess, ancient, young, and full of wisdom, movest,
all-bounteous! as the Law ordaineth.
2 Shine forth, O Morning, thou auspicious
Goddess, on thy bright car awaking pleasant voices.
Let docile horses of far-reaching splendour convey thee
hitherward, the goldencoloured.
3 Thou, Morning, turning thee to every
creature, standest on high as ensign of the Immortal,
To one same goal ever and ever wending now, like a wheel, O
newly-born, roll hi ther.
4 Letting her reins drop downward, Morning
cometh, the wealthy Dame, the Lady of the dwelling;
Bringing forth light, the Wonderful, the Blessed hath spread
her from the bounds of earth and heaven.
5 Hither invoke the radiant Goddess
Morning, and bring with reverence your hymn to praise her.
She, dropping sweets, hath set in heaven her brightness,
and, fair to look on, hath beamed forth her splendour.
6 From heaven, with hymns, the Holy One was
wakened: brightly to both worlds came the wealthy Lady.
To Morning, Agni, when she comes refulgent, thou goest forth
soliciting fair riches.
7 On Law's firm base the speeder of the
Mornings, the Bull, hath entered mighty earth and heaven.
Great is the power of Varuna and Mitra, which, bright, hath
spread in every place its splendour.
