सूक्त ७५

व्युषा आवो दिविजा ऋतेनाविष्कृण्वाना महिमानमागात्। अप द्रुहस्तम आवरजुष्टमङ्गिरस्तमा पथ्या अजीगः॥

vyuṣā āvo divijā ṛtenāviṣkṛṇvānā mahimānamāgāt | apa druhastama āvarajuṣṭamaṅgirastamā pathyā ajīgaḥ ||

BORN in the heavens the Dawn hath flushed, and showing her majesty is come as Law ordaineth. She hath uncovered fiends and hateful darkness; best of Angirases, hath waked the pathways.

महे नो अद्य सुविताय बोध्युषो महे सौभगाय प्र यन्धि। चित्रं रयिं यशसं धेह्यस्मे देवि मर्तेषु मानुषि श्रवस्युम्॥

mahe no adya suvitāya bodhyuṣo mahe saubhagāya pra yandhi | citraṁ rayiṁ yaśasaṁ dhehyasme devi marteṣu mānuṣi śravasyum ||

Rouse us this day to high and happy fortune: to great felicity, O Dawn, promote us. Vouchsafe us manifold and splendid riches, famed among mortals, man-befriending Goddess!

एते त्ये भानवो दर्शतायाश्चित्रा उषसो अमृतास आगुः। जनयन्तो दैव्यानि व्रतान्यापृणन्तो अन्तरिक्षा व्यस्थुः॥

ete tye bhānavo darśatāyāścitrā uṣaso amṛtāsa āguḥ | janayanto daivyāni vratānyāpṛṇanto antarikṣā vyasthuḥ ||

See, lovely Morning's everlasting splendours, bright with their varied colours, have approached us. Filling the region of mid-air, producing the rites of holy worship, they have mounted.

एषा स्या युजाना पराकात्पञ्च क्षितीः परि सद्यो जिगाति। अभिपश्यन्ती वयुना जनानां दिवो दुहिता भुवनस्य पत्नी॥

eṣā syā yujānā parākātpañca kṣitīḥ pari sadyo jigāti | abhipaśyantī vayunā janānāṁ divo duhitā bhuvanasya patnī ||

She yokes her chariot far away, and swiftly visits the lands where the Five Tribes are settled, Looking upon the works and ways of mortals, Daughter of Heaven, the world's Imperial Lady.

वाजिनीवती सूर्यस्य योषा चित्रामघा राय ईशे वसूनाम्। ऋषिष्टुता जरयन्ती मघोन्युषा उच्छति वह्निभिर्गृणाना॥

vājinīvatī sūryasya yoṣā citrāmaghā rāya īśe vasūnām | ṛṣiṣṭutā jarayantī maghonyuṣā ucchati vahnibhirgṛṇānā ||

She who is rich in spoil, the Spouse of Surya, wondrously opulent, rules all wealth and treasures. Consumer of our youth, the seers extol her: lauded by priests rich Dawn shines out refulgent.

प्रति द्युतानामरुषासो अश्वाश्चित्रा अदृश्रन्नुषसं वहन्तः। याति शुभ्रा विश्वपिशा रथेन दधाति रत्नं विधते जनाय॥

prati dyutānāmaruṣāso aśvāścitrā adṛśrannuṣasaṁ vahantaḥ | yāti śubhrā viśvapiśā rathena dadhāti ratnaṁ vidhate janāya ||

Apparent are the steeds of varied colour, the red steeds carrying resplendent Morning. On her all-lovely car she comes, the Fair One, and brings rich treasure for her faithful servant.

सत्या सत्येभिर्महती महद्भिर्देवी देवेभिर्यजता यजत्रैः। रुजद्दृळ्हानि दददुस्रियाणां प्रति गाव उषसं वावशन्त॥

satyā satyebhirmahatī mahadbhirdevī devebhiryajatā yajatraiḥ | rujaddṛḻhāni dadadusriyāṇāṁ prati gāva uṣasaṁ vāvaśanta ||

True with the True and Mighty with the Mighty, with Gods a Goddess, Holy with the Holy, She brake strong fences down and gave the cattle: the kine were lowing as they greeted Morning.

नू नो गोमद्वीरवद्धेहि रत्नमुषो अश्वावत्पुरुभोजो अस्मे। मा नो बर्हिः पुरुषता निदे कर्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

nū no gomadvīravaddhehi ratnamuṣo aśvāvatpurubhojo asme | mā no barhiḥ puruṣatā nide karyūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

O Dawn, now give us wealth in kine and heroes, and horses, fraught with manifold enjoyment. Protect our sacred grass from man's reproaches. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
