Rig Veda
ud u jyotir amṛtaṃ viśvajanyaṃ viśvānaraḥ savitā devo aśret kratvā devānām ajaniṣṭa cakṣur āvir akar bhuvanaṃ viśvam uṣāḥ
Savitar God of all men hath sent upward his light, designed for all mankind, immortal. Through the Gods' power that Eye was first created. Dawn hath made all the universe apparent.
pra me panthā devayānā adṛśrann amardhanto vasubhir iṣkṛtāsaḥ abhūd u ketur uṣasaḥ purastāt pratīcy āgād adhi harmyebhyaḥ
I see the paths which Gods are wont to travel, innocuous paths made ready by the Vasus. Eastward the flag of Dawn hath been uplifted; she hath come hither o'er the tops of houses.
tānīd ahāni bahulāny āsan yā prācīnam uditā sūryasya yataḥ pari jāra ivācaranty uṣo dadṛkṣe na punar yatīva
Great is, in truth, the number of the Mornings which were aforetime at the Sun's uprising. Since thou, O Dawn, hast been beheld repairing as to thy love, as one no more to leave him.
ta id devānāṃ sadhamāda āsann ṛtāvānaḥ kavayaḥ pūrvyāsaḥ gūﾱhaṃ jyotiḥ pitaro anv avindan satyamantrā ajanayann uṣāsam
They were the Gods' companions at the banquet, the ancient sages true to Law Eternal. The Fathers found the light that lay in darkness, and with effectual words begat the Morning.
samāna ūrve adhi saṃgatāsaḥ saṃ jānate na yatante mithas te te devānāṃ na minanti vratāny amardhanto vasubhir yādamānāḥ
Meeting together in the same enclosure, they strive not, of one mind, one with another. They never break the Gods' eternal statutes, and injure none, in rivalry with Vasus.
prati tvā stomair īﾱate vasiṣṭhā uṣarbudhaḥ subhage tuṣṭuvāṃsaḥ gavāṃ netrī vājapatnī na ucchoṣaḥ sujāte prathamā jarasva
Extolling thee, Blest Goddess, the Vasishthas, awake at early mom, with lauds implore thee. Leader of kine and Queen of all that strengthens, shine, come as first to us, O high-born Morning.
eṣā netrī rādhasaḥ sūnṛtānām uṣā ucchantī ribhyate vasiṣṭhaiḥ dīrghaśrutaṃ rayim asme dadhānā yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
She bringeth bounty and sweet charm of voices. The flushing Dawn is sung by the Vasishthas, Giving us riches famed to distant places. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
