Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·3·3.61
उषो वाजेन वाजिनि प्रचेता स्तोमं जुषस्व गृणतो मघोनि । पुराणी देवि युवतिः पुरन्धिर् अनु व्रतं चरसि विश्ववारे ॥
uṣo vājena vājini pracetā stomaṃ juṣasva gṛṇato maghoni | purāṇī devi yuvatiḥ purandhir anu vrataṃ carasi viśvavāre ||
O Usas, strong with strength, endowed with knowledge, accept the singer's praise, O wealthy Lady. Thou, Goddess, ancient, young, and full of wisdom, movest, all-bounteous! as the Law ordaineth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उषो देव्य् अमर्त्या वि भाहि चन्द्ररथा सूनृता ईरयन्ती । आ त्वा वहन्तु सुयमासो अश्वा हिरण्यवर्णाम् पृथुपाजसो ये ॥
uṣo devy amartyā vi bhāhi candrarathā sūnṛtā īrayantī | ā tvā vahantu suyamāso aśvā hiraṇyavarṇām pṛthupājaso ye ||
Shine forth, O Morning, thou auspicious Goddess, on thy bright car awaking pleasant voices. Let docile horses of far-reaching splendour convey thee hitherward, the golden coloured.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उषः प्रतीची भुवनानि विश्वोर्ध्वा तिष्ठस्य् अमृतस्य केतुः । समानम् अर्थं चरणीयमाना चक्रम् इव नव्यस्य् आ ववृत्स्व ॥
uṣaḥ pratīcī bhuvanāni viśvordhvā tiṣṭhasy amṛtasya ketuḥ | samānam arthaṃ caraṇīyamānā cakram iva navyasy ā vavṛtsva ||
Thou, Morning, turning thee to every creature, standest on high as ensign of the Immortal, To one same goal ever and ever wending now, like a wheel, O newly-born, roll hither.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अव स्यूमेव चिन्वती मघोन्य् उषा याति स्वसरस्य पत्नी । स्वर् जनन्ती सुभगा सुदंसा आन्ताद् दिवः पप्रथ आ पृथिव्याः ॥
ava syūmeva cinvatī maghony uṣā yāti svasarasya patnī | svar janantī subhagā sudaṃsā āntād divaḥ papratha ā pṛthivyāḥ ||
Letting her reins drop downward, Morning cometh, the wealthy Dame, the Lady of the dwelling; Bringing forth light, the Wonderful, the Blessed hath spread her from the bounds of earth and heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अच्छा वो देवीम् उषसं विभातीम् प्र वो भरध्वं नमसा सुवृक्तिम् । ऊर्ध्वम् मधुधा दिवि पाजो अश्रेत् प्र रोचना रुरुचे रण्वसंदृक् ॥
acchā vo devīm uṣasaṃ vibhātīm pra vo bharadhvaṃ namasā suvṛktim | ūrdhvam madhudhā divi pājo aśret pra rocanā ruruce raṇvasaṃdṛk ||
Hither invoke the radiant Goddess Morning, and bring with reverence your hymn to praise her. She, dropping sweets, hath set in heaven her brightness, and, fair to look on, hath beamed forth her splendour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऋतावरी दिवो अर्कैर् अबोध्य् आ रेवती रोदसी चित्रम् अस्थात् । आयतीम् अग्न उषसं विभातीं वामम् एषि द्रविणम् भिक्षमाणः ॥
ṛtāvarī divo arkair abodhy ā revatī rodasī citram asthāt | āyatīm agna uṣasaṃ vibhātīṃ vāmam eṣi draviṇam bhikṣamāṇaḥ ||
From heaven, with hymns, the Holy One was wakened: brightly to both worlds came the wealthy Lady. To Morning, Agni, when she comes refulgent, thou goest forth soliciting fair riches.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऋतस्य बुध्न उषसाम् इषण्यन् वृषा मही रोदसी आ विवेश । मही मित्रस्य वरुणस्य माया चन्द्रेव भानुं वि दधे पुरुत्रा ॥
ṛtasya budhna uṣasām iṣaṇyan vṛṣā mahī rodasī ā viveśa | mahī mitrasya varuṇasya māyā candreva bhānuṃ vi dadhe purutrā ||
On Law's firm base the speeder of the Mornings, the Bull, hath entered mighty earth and heaven. Great is the power of Varuna and Mitra, which, bright, hath spread in every place its splendour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
