Rig Veda
This verse is not included in this edition.
The radiant Dawns have risen up for glory, in their white splendour like the waves of waters. She maketh paths all easy, fair to travel, and, rich, hath shown herself benign and friendly.
bhadrā dadṛkṣa urviyā vi bhāsy ut te śocir bhānavo dyām apaptan āvir vakṣaḥ kṛṇuṣe śumbhamānoṣo devi rocamānā mahobhiḥ
We see that thou art good: far shines thy lustre; thy beams, thy splendours have flown up to heaven. Decking thyself, thou makest bare thy bosom, shining in majesty, thou Goddess Morning.
vahanti sīm aruṇāso ruśanto gāvaḥ subhagām urviyā prathānām apejate śūro asteva śatrūn bādhate tamo ajiro na voﾱhā
Red are the kine and luminous that bear her the Blessed One who spreadeth through the distance. The foes she chaseth like a valiant archer, like a swift warrior she repelleth darkness.
sugota te supathā parvateṣv avāte apas tarasi svabhāno sā na ā vaha pṛthuyāmann ṛṣve rayiṃ divo duhitar iṣayadhyai
Thy ways are easy on the hills: thou passest Invincible! Se1f-luminous! through waters. So lofty Goddess with thine ample pathway, Daughter of Heaven, bring wealth to give us comfort.
sā vaha yokṣabhir avātoṣo varaṃ vahasi joṣam anu tvaṃ divo duhitar yā ha devī pūrvahūtau maṃhanā darśatā bhūḥ
Dawn, bring me wealth: untroubled, with thine oxen thou bearest riches at thy will and pleasure; Thou who, a Goddess, Child of Heaven, hast shown thee lovely through bounty when we called thee early.
ut te vayaś cid vasater apaptan naraś ca ye pitubhājo vyuṣṭau amā sate vahasi bhūri vāmam uṣo devi dāśuṣe martyāya
As the birds fly forth from their resting places, so men with store of food rise at thy dawning. Yea, to the liberal mortal who remaineth at home, O Goddess Dawn, much good thou bringest.
