The dawns spread out, O Ashvins, and the poets carry your hymns. The god Savitar has raised his radiance high; the great fires blaze with kindling.

We have approached the sacrifice, seeking the paths; may you two mighty ones accept this hymn. Vasiṣṭha, sent to you, has awakened, growing old with praises.

Come, adorn yourselves, drink the honey, O Ashvins. The milk, the nourishing drink, O mighty ones, do not harm us, come.

These radiant beams of the glorious, immortal Dawn have arrived, generating divine laws and filling the spaces of the sky.
