Sukta 52

प्रति ष्या सूनरी जनी व्युच्छन्ती परि स्वसुः। दिवो अदर्शि दुहिता॥

prati ṣyā sūnarī janī vyucchantī pari svasuḥ | divo adarśi duhitā ||

THIS Lady, giver of delight, after her Sister shining forth, Daughter of Heaven, hath shown herself.-

अश्वेव चित्रारुषी माता गवामृतावरी। सखाभूदश्विनोरुषाः॥

aśveva citrāruṣī mātā gavāmṛtāvarī | sakhābhūdaśvinoruṣāḥ ||

Unfailing, Mother of the Kine, in colour like a bright red mare, The Dawn became the Asvins' Friend.

उत सखास्यश्विनोरुत माता गवामसि। उतोषो वस्व ईशिषे॥

uta sakhāsyaśvinoruta mātā gavāmasi | utoṣo vasva īśiṣe ||

Yea, and thou art the Asvins' Friend, the Mother of the Kine art thou: O Dawn thou rulest over wealth.

यावयद्द्वेषसं त्वा चिकित्वित्सूनृतावरि। प्रति स्तोमैरभुत्स्महि॥

yāvayaddveṣasaṁ tvā cikitvitsūnṛtāvari | prati stomairabhutsmahi ||

Thinking of thee, O joyous One, as her who driveth hate away, We woke to meet thee with our lauds.

प्रति भद्रा अदृक्षत गवां सर्गा न रश्मयः। ओषा अप्रा उरु ज्रयः॥

prati bhadrā adṛkṣata gavāṁ sargā na raśmayaḥ | oṣā aprā uru jrayaḥ ||

Our eyes behold thy blessed rays like troops of cattle loosed to feed. Dawn hath filled full the wide expanse.

आपप्रुषी विभावरि व्यावर्ज्योतिषा तमः। उषो अनु स्वधामव॥

āpapruṣī vibhāvari vyāvarjyotiṣā tamaḥ | uṣo anu svadhāmava ||

When thou hast filled it, Fulgent One! thou layest bare the gloom with light. After thy nature aid us, Dawn.

आ द्यां तनोषि रश्मिभिरान्तरिक्षमुरु प्रियम्। उषः शुक्रेण शोचिषा॥

ā dyāṁ tanoṣi raśmibhirāntarikṣamuru priyam | uṣaḥ śukreṇa śociṣā ||

Thou overspreadest heaven with rays, the dear wide region of mid-air. With thy bright shining lustre, Dawn.
