praty u adarśy āyaty ucchantī duhitā divaḥ apo mahi vyayati cakṣase tamo jyotiṣ kṛṇoti sūnarī
Advancing, sending forth her rays, the Daughter of the Sky is seen. Uncovering, that we may see, the mighty gloom, the friendly Lady makes the light.
Rig Veda
praty u adarśy āyaty ucchantī duhitā divaḥ apo mahi vyayati cakṣase tamo jyotiṣ kṛṇoti sūnarī
Advancing, sending forth her rays, the Daughter of the Sky is seen. Uncovering, that we may see, the mighty gloom, the friendly Lady makes the light.
ud usriyāḥ sṛjate sūryaḥ sacāṁ udyan nakṣatram arcivat taved uṣo vyuṣi sūryasya ca sam bhaktena gamemahi
The Sun ascending, the refulgent Star, pours down his beams together with the Dawn. O Dawn, at thine arising, and the Sun's, may we attain the share allotted us.
prati tvā duhitar diva uṣo jīrā abhutsmahi yā vahasi puru spārhaṃ vananvati ratnaṃ na dāśuṣe mayaḥ
Promptly we woke to welcome thee, O Ushas, Daughter of the Sky, Thee, Bounteous One, who bringest all we long to have, and to the offerer health and wealth.
This verse is not included in this edition.
Thou, dawning, workest fain to light the great world, yea, heaven, Goddess! that it may be seen. We yearn to be thine own, Dealer of Wealth: may we be to this Mother like her sons.
tac citraṃ rādha ā bharoṣo yad dīrghaśruttamam yat te divo duhitar martabhojanaṃ tad rāsva bhunajāmahai
Bring us that wondrous bounty, Dawn, that shall be famed most far away. What, Child of Heaven, thou hast of nourishment for man, bestow thou on us to enjoy.
śravaḥ sūribhyo amṛtaṃ vasutvanaṃ vājāṁ asmabhyaṃ gomataḥ codayitrī maghonaḥ sūnṛtāvaty uṣā ucchad apa sridhaḥ
Give to our princes opulence and immortal fame, and strength in herds of kine to us. May she who prompts the wealthy, Lady of sweet strains, may Ushas dawn our foes away.
