He who is the preparer of the sacrifice, the thread stretched among the gods, may we consume that oblation.

We praise the sun, guardian of the world, who makes the directions known, shining with his rays, swift-winged, flying quickly in the expanse, who with his rays illumines all directions.
यत्प्राङ्प्रत्यङ्स्वधया यासि शीभं नानारूपे अहनी कर्षि मायया । तदादित्य महि तत्ते महि श्रवो यदेको विश्वं परि भूम जायसे
As you go east and west by your own law, drawing the diverse days with your power, O Āditya, great is that greatness of yours, great your fame, as you alone are born encompassing all.

In the sky, three times you are established, O Sun, to make the month; thus you move, well-supported, shining, proclaiming all beings.
उभावन्तौ समर्षसि वत्सः संमातराविव । नन्वेतदितः पुरा ब्रह्म देवा अमी विदुः
You endure both, like a calf with its mothers; truly, even before this, the gods knew this sacred knowledge.
यत्समुद्रमनु श्रितं तत्सिषासति सूर्यः । अध्वास्य विततो महान् पूर्वश्चापरश्च यः
What is established after the ocean, that the Sun seeks to know; his path is vast, spread out, both the former and the latter.

With one foot, he strides more than the two-footed; from two-footed, he approaches the three-footed behind; from two-footed, he strides more than the six-footed; those with one foot compose their bodies.
अतन्द्रो यास्यन् हरितो यदास्थाद्द्वे रूपे कृणुते रोचमानः । केतुमान् उद्यन्त्सहमानो रजांसि विश्वा आदित्य प्रवतो वि भासि
Untiring, advancing, when the tawny one takes his place, shining, he makes two forms; adorned with a banner, rising, enduring the spaces, O shining one, you illuminate all the paths of the sun.
