asthur u citrā uṣasaḥ purastān mitā iva svaravo 'dhvareṣu | vy ū vrajasya tamaso dvārocchantīr avrañ chucayaḥ pāvakāḥ ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

The richly-coloured Dawns have mounted eastward, like pillars planted at our sacrifices, And, flushing far, splendid and purifying, unbarred the portals of the fold of darkness.
