Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.76
उद् उ ज्योतिर् अमृतं विश्वजन्यं विश्वानरः सविता देवो अश्रेत् । क्रत्वा देवानाम् अजनिष्ट चक्षुर् आविर् अकर् भुवनं विश्वम् उषाः ॥
ud u jyotir amṛtaṃ viśvajanyaṃ viśvānaraḥ savitā devo aśret | kratvā devānām ajaniṣṭa cakṣur āvir akar bhuvanaṃ viśvam uṣāḥ ||
Savitar God of all men hath sent upward his light, designed for all mankind, immortal. Through the Gods' power that Eye was first created. Dawn hath made all the universe apparent.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र मे पन्था देवयाना अदृश्रन्न् अमर्धन्तो वसुभिर् इष्कृतासः । अभूद् उ केतुर् उषसः पुरस्तात् प्रतीच्य् आगाद् अधि हर्म्येभ्यः ॥
pra me panthā devayānā adṛśrann amardhanto vasubhir iṣkṛtāsaḥ | abhūd u ketur uṣasaḥ purastāt pratīcy āgād adhi harmyebhyaḥ ||
I see the paths which Gods are wont to travel, innocuous paths made ready by the Vasus. Eastward the flag of Dawn hath been uplifted; she hath come hither o'er the tops of houses.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तानीद् अहानि बहुलान्य् आसन् या प्राचीनम् उदिता सूर्यस्य । यतः परि जार इवाचरन्त्य् उषो ददृक्षे न पुनर् यतीव ॥
tānīd ahāni bahulāny āsan yā prācīnam uditā sūryasya | yataḥ pari jāra ivācaranty uṣo dadṛkṣe na punar yatīva ||
Great is, in truth, the number of the Mornings which were aforetime at the Sun's uprising. Since thou, O Dawn, hast been beheld repairing as to thy love, as one no more to leave him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त इद् देवानां सधमाद आसन्न् ऋतावानः कवयः पूर्व्यासः । गूळ्हं ज्योतिः पितरो अन्व् अविन्दन् सत्यमन्त्रा अजनयन्न् उषासम् ॥
ta id devānāṃ sadhamāda āsann ṛtāvānaḥ kavayaḥ pūrvyāsaḥ | gūḷhaṃ jyotiḥ pitaro anv avindan satyamantrā ajanayann uṣāsam ||
They were the Gods' companions at the banquet, the ancient sages true to Law Eternal. The Fathers found the light that lay in darkness, and with effectual words begat the Morning.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
समान ऊर्वे अधि संगतासः सं जानते न यतन्ते मिथस् ते । ते देवानां न मिनन्ति व्रतान्य् अमर्धन्तो वसुभिर् यादमानाः ॥
samāna ūrve adhi saṃgatāsaḥ saṃ jānate na yatante mithas te | te devānāṃ na minanti vratāny amardhanto vasubhir yādamānāḥ ||
Meeting together in the same enclosure, they strive not, of one mind, one with another. They never break the Gods' eternal statutes, and injure none, in rivalry with Vasus.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्रति त्वा स्तोमैर् ईळते वसिष्ठा उषर्बुधः सुभगे तुष्टुवांसः । गवां नेत्री वाजपत्नी न उच्छोषः सुजाते प्रथमा जरस्व ॥
prati tvā stomair īḷate vasiṣṭhā uṣarbudhaḥ subhage tuṣṭuvāṃsaḥ | gavāṃ netrī vājapatnī na ucchoṣaḥ sujāte prathamā jarasva ||
Extolling thee, Blest Goddess, the Vasisthas, awake at early mom, with lauds implore thee. Leader of kine and Queen of all that strengthens, shine, come as first to us, O high-born Morning.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एषा नेत्री राधसः सूनृतानाम् उषा उच्छन्ती रिभ्यते वसिष्ठैः । दीर्घश्रुतं रयिम् अस्मे दधाना यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
eṣā netrī rādhasaḥ sūnṛtānām uṣā ucchantī ribhyate vasiṣṭhaiḥ | dīrghaśrutaṃ rayim asme dadhānā yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
She bringeth bounty and sweet charm of voices. The flushing Dawn is sung by the Vasisthas, Giving us riches famed to distant places. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
