Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·6·6.64
उद् उ श्रिय उषसो रोचमाना अस्थुर् अपां नोर्मयो रुशन्तः । कृणोति विश्वा सुपथा सुगान्य् अभूद् उ वस्वी दक्षिणा मघोनी ॥
ud u śriya uṣaso rocamānā asthur apāṃ normayo ruśantaḥ | kṛṇoti viśvā supathā sugāny abhūd u vasvī dakṣiṇā maghonī ||
The radiant Dawns have risen up for glory, in their white splendour like the waves of waters. She maketh paths all easy, fair to travel, and, rich, hath shown herself benign and friendly.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
भद्रा ददृक्ष उर्विया वि भास्य् उत् ते शोचिर् भानवो द्याम् अपप्तन् । आविर् वक्षः कृणुषे शुम्भमानोषो देवि रोचमाना महोभिः ॥
bhadrā dadṛkṣa urviyā vi bhāsy ut te śocir bhānavo dyām apaptan | āvir vakṣaḥ kṛṇuṣe śumbhamānoṣo devi rocamānā mahobhiḥ ||
We see that thou art good: far shines thy lustre; thy beams, thy splendours have flown up to heaven. Decking thyself, thou makest bare thy bosom, shining in majesty, thou Goddess Morning.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वहन्ति सीम् अरुणासो रुशन्तो गावः सुभगाम् उर्विया प्रथानाम् । अपेजते शूरो अस्तेव शत्रून् बाधते तमो अजिरो न वोळ्हा ॥
vahanti sīm aruṇāso ruśanto gāvaḥ subhagām urviyā prathānām | apejate śūro asteva śatrūn bādhate tamo ajiro na voḷhā ||
Red are the kine and luminous that bear her the Blessed One who spreadeth through the distance. The foes she chaseth like a valiant archer, like a swift warrior she repelleth darkness.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुगोत ते सुपथा पर्वतेष्व् अवाते अपस् तरसि स्वभानो । सा न आ वह पृथुयामन्न् ऋष्वे रयिं दिवो दुहितर् इषयध्यै ॥
sugota te supathā parvateṣv avāte apas tarasi svabhāno | sā na ā vaha pṛthuyāmann ṛṣve rayiṃ divo duhitar iṣayadhyai ||
Thy ways are easy on the hills: thou passest Invincible! Se1f-luminous! through waters. So lofty Goddess with thine ample pathway, Daughter of Heaven, bring wealth to give us comfort.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सा वह योक्षभिर् अवातोषो वरं वहसि जोषम् अनु । त्वं दिवो दुहितर् या ह देवी पूर्वहूतौ मंहना दर्शता भूः ॥
sā vaha yokṣabhir avātoṣo varaṃ vahasi joṣam anu | tvaṃ divo duhitar yā ha devī pūrvahūtau maṃhanā darśatā bhūḥ ||
Dawn, bring me wealth: untroubled, with thine oxen thou bearest riches at thy will and pleasure; Thou who, a Goddess, Child of Heaven, hast shown thee lovely through bounty when we called thee early.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत् ते वयश् चिद् वसतेर् अपप्तन् नरश् च ये पितुभाजो व्युष्टौ । अमा सते वहसि भूरि वामम् उषो देवि दाशुषे मर्त्याय ॥
ut te vayaś cid vasater apaptan naraś ca ye pitubhājo vyuṣṭau | amā sate vahasi bhūri vāmam uṣo devi dāśuṣe martyāya ||
As the birds fly forth from their resting places, so men with store of food rise at thy dawning. Yea, to the liberal mortal who remaineth at home, O Goddess Dawn, much good thou bringest.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
