Rig Veda
tad devasya savitur vāryam mahad vṛṇīmahe asurasya pracetasaḥ chardir yena dāśuṣe yacchati tmanā tan no mahāṁ ud ayān devo aktubhiḥ
Of Savitar the God, the sapient Asura, we crave this great gift which is worthy of our choice, Wherewith he freely grants his worshiper defense. This with his rays the Great God hath vouchsafed to us.
divo dhartā bhuvanasya prajāpatiḥ piśaṅgaṃ drāpim prati muñcate kaviḥ vicakṣaṇaḥ prathayann āpṛṇann urv ajījanat savitā sumnam ukthyam
Sustainer of the heaven, Lord of the whole world's life, the Sage, he putteth on his golden-coloured mail. Clear-sighted, spreading far, filling the spacious realm, Savitar hath brought forth bliss that deserveth laud.
āprā rajāṃsi divyāni pārthivā ślokaṃ devaḥ kṛṇute svāya dharmaṇe pra bāhū asrāk savitā savīmani niveśayan prasuvann aktubhir jagat
He hath filled full the regions of the heaven and earth: the God for his own strengthening waketh up the hymn. Savitar hath stretched out his arms to cherish life, producing with his rays and lulling all that moves.
adābhyo bhuvanāni pracākaśad vratāni devaḥ savitābhi rakṣate prāsrāg bāhū bhuvanasya prajābhyo dhṛtavrato maho ajmasya rājati
Lighting all living creatures, ne'er to be deceived, Savitar, God, protects each holy ordinance. He hath stretched out his arms to all the folk of earth, and, with his laws observed, rules his own mighty course.
trir antarikṣaṃ savitā mahitvanā trī rajāṃsi paribhus trīṇi rocanā tisro divaḥ pṛthivīs tisra invati tribhir vratair abhi no rakṣati tmanā
Savitar thrice surrounding with his mightiness mid-air, three regions, and the triple sphere of light, Sets the three heavens in motion and the threefold earth, and willingly protects us with his triple law.
bṛhatsumnaḥ prasavītā niveśano jagata sthātur ubhayasya yo vaśī sa no devaḥ savitā śarma yacchatv asme kṣayāya trivarūtham aṃhasaḥ
Most gracious God, who brings to life and lulls to rest, he who controls the world, what moves not and what moves, May he vouchsafe us shelter, -Savitar the God,- for tranquil life, with triple bar against distress.
āgan deva ṛtubhir vardhatu kṣayaṃ dadhātu naḥ savitā suprajām iṣam sa naḥ kṣapābhir ahabhiś ca jinvatu prajāvantaṃ rayim asme sam invatu
With the year's seasons hath Savitar, God, come nigh: may he prosper our home, give food and noble sons. May he invigorate us through the days and nights, and may he send us opulence with progeny.
