Sukta 149

सविता यन्त्रैः पृथिवीमरम्णादस्कम्भने सविता द्यामदृंहत्। अश्वमिवाधुक्षद्धुनिमन्तरिक्षमतूर्ते बद्धं सविता समुद्रम्॥

savitā yantraiḥ pṛthivīmaramṇādaskambhane savitā dyāmadṛṁhat | aśvamivādhukṣaddhunimantarikṣamatūrte baddhaṁ savitā samudram ||

SAVITAR fixed the earth with bands to bind it, and made heaven stedfast where no prop supported. Savitar milked, as 'twere a restless courser, air, sea bound fast to what no foot had trodden.

यत्रा समुद्रः स्कभितो व्यौनदपां नपात्सविता तस्य वेद। अतो भूरत आ उत्थितं रजोऽतो द्यावापृथिवी अप्रथेताम्॥

yatrā samudraḥ skabhito vyaunadapāṁ napātsavitā tasya veda | ato bhūrata ā utthitaṁ rajo'to dyāvāpṛthivī aprathetām ||

Well knoweth Savitar, O Child of Waters, where ocean, firmly fixt, o'erflowed its limit. Thence sprang the world, from that uprose the region: thence heaven spread out and the wide earth expanded.

पश्चेदमन्यदभवद्यजत्रममर्त्यस्य भुवनस्य भूना। सुपर्णो अङ्ग सवितुर्गरुत्मान्पूर्वो जातः स उ अस्यानु धर्म॥

paścedamanyadabhavadyajatramamartyasya bhuvanasya bhūnā | suparṇo aṅga saviturgarutmānpūrvo jātaḥ sa u asyānu dharma ||

Then, with a full crowd of Immortal Beings, this other realm came later, high and holy. First, verily, Savitar's strong-pinioned Eagle was born: and he obeys his law for ever.

गाव इव ग्रामं यूयुधिरिवाश्वान्वाश्रेव वत्सं सुमना दुहाना। पतिरिव जायामभि नो न्येतु धर्ता दिवः सविता विश्ववारः॥

gāva iva grāmaṁ yūyudhirivāśvānvāśreva vatsaṁ sumanā duhānā | patiriva jāyāmabhi no nyetu dhartā divaḥ savitā viśvavāraḥ ||

As warriors to their steeds, kine to their village, as fond milk giving cows approach their youngling, As man to wife, let Savitar come downward to us, heaven's bearer, Lord of every blessing.

हिरण्यस्तूपः सवितर्यथा त्वाङ्गिरसो जुह्वे वाजे अस्मिन्। एवा त्वार्चन्नवसे वन्दमानः सोमस्येवांशुं प्रति जागराहम्॥

hiraṇyastūpaḥ savitaryathā tvāṅgiraso juhve vāje asmin | evā tvārcannavase vandamānaḥ somasyevāṁśuṁ prati jāgarāham ||

Like the Angirasa Hiranvastupa, I call thee, Savitar, to this achievement: So worshipping and lauding thee for favour I watch for thee as for the stalk of Soma.
