Now we are on the other side of the darkness. Dawn, shining forth again gives clear vision. She smiles like a flatterer, immersed in glory, her face hath awakened us to joy. The chanting sacrificers have praised the Heaven’s radiant Daughter, the lady of charms. Dawn, thou grant us strength with offspring and men, make us rich in steeds and kine. Dawn, thou shines forth in wisdom and splendour, urged by your own strength. O auspicious one, grant us ample wealth, renown, brave sons, servants and possession of horses. Having lighted up the whole world with her gaze, she spreads her radiance towards west. She awakens all living beings to the labour and pays heed to the call of every worshipper. This ancient of days, born anew again and again, decking herself with the same ornaments, she wastes away the life of mortal men like a skilled bird catcher who holds in his clutches the feathery creatures. Discovering the heaven’s borders, she has chased away her sister Night to the far distance. She reflects the splendour of her lover, the Sun and dwindles the days of human mortals. She, the blessed, the radiant, shines forth spreading her rays like grazing kine, as floods rolling, never transgressing the divine laws, she is beheld by all, being escorted by the rays.

O Dawn, of ample wealth, bestow on us the wonderous gifts that we may nourish therewith our children and children’s sons. O auspicious lady, uttering sweet sounds, shine on us now with wealth of cattle and steeds. O Dawn, enriched with sacred sacrifice, harness to thy care purple steeds and bring to us all felicities. O Ashvins, with one mind and intention drive your car to our home, enriching us with cattle and gold. You who brought down the sweet song from heaven, a light that lights up the world of men., give us strength now, O Ashvins! May they who wake at dawn, bring here Soma juice for Gods to drink, the bestowers of health, doers of wonderous deeds, borne on paths of gold.

O Agni to you, worthy of our laud, we send this eulogy as it were a car. Auspicious is thy love for us. Let us not suffer harm in your assembly and friendship. The man whom thou favours, prospers, achieves success, strength and lives without a foe. Poverty touch him not, he grows strong. Let us not suffer in thy friendship. O Agni, may we have power to kindle thee. Grant our desires, through you the Gods acquire good food. Bring hither the Adityas for whom we long. May we never suffer harm in thy friendship. We bring fuel and offering for the sacrifice, acquiring virtues with perfect means. Grant us our desires and longevity. May we never suffer harm in thy friendship. O God, desired by all, thou knowest how to grant prosperity, prolong our life here. May Varuna grant our prayers, and Aditi, Sindhu, Mitra Earth and Heaven.

Shine, thou Agni, wealth on us and chase away our sins. May Agni burn down our sins! We make our sacrifice to you for fair fields, goodly homes and for wealth. May Agni burn up our sins! He and others who surpass in devotion are the best. May Agni burn up our sins! O Agni, let high priests spring from you. May we be reborn in you. May Agni burn up our sins! The mighty Agni’s flames penetrate universally, his visage shines bright in every direction. May the God burn up our sins! Your face is turned to every side. Thou art immanent in every thing. May the God burn up our sins! The God whose glory shines in every direction may take us across safely, as in a boat. May the lord burn up our sins! O God, take us across safely, across the stream, as in a boat. May the Lord burn up our sins!

May we subsist in Vaishvanara’s favour. He is sovereign Lord of living beings, the leader of all the creatures, verily the rival of the Sun. He is present in the sky, present upon the earth, he pervades all the herbs. May that all pervading God, with his vigour, guard u night and day against all violent men. May we acquire your vow of truth, may wealth collect around us in profusion. May Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, Sindhu, Earth and Heaven grant this prayer of ours!
