RV 4.53.1

तद् देवस्य सवितुर् वार्यम् महद् वृणीमहे असुरस्य प्रचेतसः । छर्दिर् येन दाशुषे यच्छति त्मना तन् नो महां उद् अयान् देवो अक्तुभिः ॥

tad devasya savitur vāryam mahad vṛṇīmahe asurasya pracetasaḥ | chardir yena dāśuṣe yacchati tmanā tan no mahāṃ ud ayān devo aktubhiḥ ||

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

Of Savitar the God, the sapient Asura, we crave this great gift which is worthy of our choice, Wherewith he freely grants his worshiper defense. This with his rays the Great God hath vouchsafed to us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
