Shine forth upon us, O goddess Dawn, with your most splendid rays, like a woman prolonging life; bestow upon us, O all-bountiful one, wealth abounding in cattle, horses, and chariots.

You whom, O well-born Dawn, the Vasiṣṭhas exalt with their hymns—may you grant us lofty and abundant riches; may you always protect us with blessings.

The first beams have appeared, her shining rays are spread upward; O Dawn, come near with your great, radiant chariot, bring us favor and light.

Agni is kindled in response, the inspired ones praise with their hymns; goddess Dawn advances with her light, driving away all darkness and misfortune.

Today, may we and the generous ones awaken with good thoughts for you, O Dawns; scatter the darkness, O shining ones, and always protect us with blessings.

O Dawn, grant us as much wealth as you have given to your praisers; you whom they have brought forth with the roar of the bull, breaking open the strong doors of the cloud.
देवंदेवं राधसे चोदयन्त्यस्मद्र्यक्सूनृता ईरयन्ती । व्युच्छन्ती नः सनये धियो धा यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Urging on the gods for gifts, she inspires us to truth; as you shine forth, grant us wisdom for prosperity; may you always protect us with blessings.

With hymns, the Vasiṣṭhas, the inspired ones, first awakened Dawn; she turns the two realms, revealing all the worlds.
एषा स्या नव्यमायुर्दधाना गूढ्वी तमो ज्योतिषोषा अबोधि । अग्र एति युवतिरह्रयाणा प्राचिकितत्सूर्यं यज्ञमग्निम्
She, bearing new life, has awakened from darkness to light; the youthful, unashamed maiden goes before, kindling the Sun, the sacrifice, and Agni.

The Sun rises together with his rays, the star ascends shining; at your dawning, O Dawn, and at the Sun's, may we go forth with our share.
प्रति त्वा दुहितर्दिव उषो जीरा अभुत्स्महि । या वहसि पुरु स्पार्हं वनन्वति रत्नं न दाशुषे मयः
To you, aged daughter of heaven, O Dawn, we have come; you bear much-desired, wondrous treasure for the worshipper.

O goddess, you who shine forth, performing great and renowned deeds, visible to all, to you who bestows treasures, we seek, that we may be like sons to a mother.

Bestow upon the inspired ones immortal fame and wealth, and upon us, O Uṣas, the prize rich in cattle; O encourager of the generous, rise up, dispel the darkness.
इन्द्रावरुणा युवमध्वराय नो विशे जनाय महि शर्म यच्छतम् । दीर्घप्रयज्युमति यो वनुष्यति वयं जयेम पृतनासु दूढ्यः
O Indra and Varuṇa, for our sacrifice and for our people, grant great protection; may we, who strive with long devotion, be victorious in battles, O guardians.

You are called sovereigns, lords of light, O mighty Indra and Varuṇa, great givers of wealth; all the gods in the highest heaven have united their strength and power for you.
अन्वपां खान्यतृन्तमोजसा सूर्यमैरयतं दिवि प्रभुम् । इन्द्रावरुणा मदे अस्य मायिनोऽपिन्वतमपितः पिन्वतं धियः
With your power you have hollowed out the beds of the waters, you have set the sun, the lord, in the sky; O Indra and Varuṇa, in the exhilaration of this wondrous work, you have filled and inspired the thoughts of the wise.
युवामिद्युत्सु पृतनासु वह्नयो युवां क्षेमस्य प्रसवे मितज्ञवः । ईशाना वस्व उभयस्य कारव इन्द्रावरुणा सुहवा हवामहे
In battles, you are the fires, O wise ones, you are the source of safety; you are the lords of both kinds of wealth, O Indra and Varuṇa, readily called, we invoke you.
इन्द्रावरुणा यदिमानि चक्रथुर्विश्वा जातानि भुवनस्य मज्मना । क्षेमेण मित्रो वरुणं दुवस्यति मरुद्भिरुग्रः शुभमन्य ईयते
O Indra and Varuṇa, by your power you have made all these beings and all that is born; Mitra, with Varuṇa, brings security, and the mighty one with the Maruts advances with good fortune.
महे शुल्काय वरुणस्य नु त्विष ओजो मिमाते ध्रुवमस्य यत्स्वम् । अजामिमन्यः श्नथयन्तमातिरद्दभ्रेभिरन्यः प्र वृणोति भूयसः
For the great reward of Varuṇa, his strength is measured, his own is firm; one cuts down the unrighteous, another surpasses the weak, another chooses greater things.
न तमंहो न दुरितानि मर्त्यमिन्द्रावरुणा न तपः कुतश्चन । यस्य देवा गच्छथो वीथो अध्वरं न तं मर्तस्य नशते परिह्वृतिः
No harm, no evil, nor any suffering befalls the mortal, O Indra and Varuṇa, from any source, for whom you gods go before at the sacrifice; the error of mortals does not destroy him.
अर्वाङ्नरा दैव्येनावसा गतं शृणुतं हवं यदि मे जुजोषथः । युवोर्हि सख्यमुत वा यदाप्यं मार्डीकमिन्द्रावरुणा नि यच्छतम्
Come near, O men, with divine aid; listen to this call, if you are pleased with me; O Indra and Varuṇa, grant that friendship and favor, whatever is gracious and worthy.
अस्माकमिन्द्रावरुणा भरेभरे पुरोयोधा भवतं कृष्ट्योजसा । यद्वां हवन्त उभये अध स्पृधि नरस्तोकस्य तनयस्य सातिषु
O Indra and Varuṇa, in every battle be our leaders with your people's strength; if both sides call upon you, then decide, O men, in the contests for offspring and descendants.
