HYMN CLVIII. Surya.

1. MAY Surya guard us out of heaven, and Vata from the firmament,

And Agni from terrestrial spots.

2 Thou Savitar whose flame deserves hundred libations, be thou pleased:

From failing lightning keep us safe.

3 May Savitar the God, and may Parvata also give us sight;

May the Creator give us sight.

4 Give sight unto our eye, give thou our bodies sight that they may see:

May we survey, discern this world.

5 Thus, Surya, may we look on thee, on thee most lovely to behold,

See clearly with the eyes of men.
