अध स्वनादुत बिभ्युः पतत्रिणो द्रप्सा यत्ते यवसादो व्यस्थिरन् । सुगं तत्ते तावकेभ्यो रथेभ्योऽग्ने सख्ये मा रिषामा वयं तव
At your resounding, even the birds are afraid, and the drops scatter from your pasture. That path is easy for your chariots; O Agni, may we not come to harm in your friendship.

That blessing of yours, when you are kindled in your own house, summoned by Soma, most gracious one, you bestow wealth and treasure on the worshipper; O Agni, may we not come to harm in your friendship.

Two forms move on their path to the light; each brings the calf to its mother. In one is the tawny, self-moving one; in the other, the bright one is seen, radiant.
दशेमं त्वष्टुर्जनयन्त गर्भमतन्द्रासो युवतयो विभृत्रम् । तिग्मानीकं स्वयशसं जनेषु विरोचमानं परि षीं नयन्ति
Ten young women, tireless, have borne this embryo of Tvaṣṭṛ, the carrier. With sharp front, renowned among people, shining forth, they lead him around.

Three births adorn him; one is in the ocean, one in the sky, and one in the waters. Following the eastern direction of earthly things, he, the ruler of the seasons, sets them in order.
क इमं वो निण्यमा चिकेत वत्सो मातॄर्जनयत स्वधाभिः । बह्वीनां गर्भो अपसामुपस्थान्महान्कविर्निश्चरति स्वधावान्
Who has understood this secret of yours? The calf is born to mothers by their own power. The embryo of many waters, in their presence, the great sage, moves about by his own law.
आविष्ट्यो वर्धते चारुरासु जिह्मानामूर्ध्वः स्वयशा उपस्थे । उभे त्वष्टुर्बिभ्यतुर्जायमानात्प्रतीची सिंहं प्रति जोषयेते
He, to be manifested, grows lovely among them, upright among the crooked, glorious in their midst. Both of Tvaṣṭṛ’s wives trembled at his birth; facing him, they welcome the lion.

Both good ones welcome him, I think; cows and heifers have come to him together. He became the lord of powers, whom they approach with offerings from the right.
उद्यंयमीति सवितेव बाहू उभे सिचौ यतते भीम ऋञ्जन् । उच्छुक्रमत्कमजते सिमस्मान्नवा मातृभ्यो वसना जहाति
He rises, like Savitar, with both arms extended, striving fiercely, coloring the two worlds; he ascends, shining, and moves among us, leaving behind the garments of his mothers.

He makes a path for the stream across the desert, striking the earth with shining waves; he holds all treasures in his belly, moving within the waters and among the sources.
