1. FULL of
effectual wisdom Savitar the God hath stretched out golden arms that he may
bring forth life.
Young and most skilful, while
he holds the region up, the Warrior sprinkles fatness over both his hands.
2 May we enjoy
the noblest vivifying force of Savitar the God, that he may give us wealth:
For thou art mighty to produce
and lull to rest the world of life that moves on two feet and on four.
3 Protect our
habitation, Savitar, this day, with guardian aids around, auspicious, firm and
true.
God of the golden tongue, keep
us for newest bliss: let not the evil-wisher have us in his power.
4 This Savitar
the God, the golden-handed, Friend of the home, hath risen to meet the
twilight.
With cheeks of brass, with
pleasant tongue, the Holy, he sends the worshipper rich gifts in plenty.
5 Like a
Director, Savitar hath extended his golden arms, exceeding fair to look on.
He hath gone up the heights of
earth and heaven, and made each monster fall and cease from troubling.
6 Fair wealth,
O Savitar, to-day, to-morrow, fair wealth produce for us each day that passes.
May we through this our song be
happy gainers, God, of a fair and spacious habitation.
