Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.79
व्य् उषा आवः पथ्या जनानाम् पञ्च क्षितीर् मानुषीर् बोधयन्ती । सुसंदृग्भिर् उक्षभिर् भानुम् अश्रेद् वि सूर्यो रोदसी चक्षसावः ॥
vy uṣā āvaḥ pathyā janānām pañca kṣitīr mānuṣīr bodhayantī | susaṃdṛgbhir ukṣabhir bhānum aśred vi sūryo rodasī cakṣasāvaḥ ||
Rousing the lands where men's Five Tribes are settled, Dawn hath disclosed the pathways of the people. She hath sent out her sheen with beauteous oxen. The Sun with light hath opened earth and heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
व्य् अञ्जते दिवो अन्तेष्व् अक्तून् विशो न युक्ता उषसो यतन्ते । सं ते गावस् तम आ वर्तयन्ति ज्योतिर् यच्छन्ति सवितेव बाहू ॥
vy añjate divo anteṣv aktūn viśo na yuktā uṣaso yatante | saṃ te gāvas tama ā vartayanti jyotir yacchanti saviteva bāhū ||
They paint their bright rays on the sky's far limits. the Dawns come on like tribes arrayed for battle. Thy cattle, closely shutting up the darkness, as Savitar spreads his arms, give forth their lustre.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अभूद् उषा इन्द्रतमा मघोन्य् अजीजनत् सुविताय श्रवांसि । वि दिवो देवी दुहिता दधात्य् अङ्गिरस्तमा सुकृते वसूनि ॥
abhūd uṣā indratamā maghony ajījanat suvitāya śravāṃsi | vi divo devī duhitā dadhāty aṅgirastamā sukṛte vasūni ||
Wealthy, most like to Indra, Dawn hath risen, and brought forth lauds that shall promote our welfare. Daughter of Heaven, a Goddess, she distributes, best of Angirases, treasures to the pious.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तावद् उषो राधो अस्मभ्यं रास्व यावत् स्तोतृभ्यो अरदो गृणाना । यां त्वा जज्ञुर् वृषभस्या रवेण वि दृळ्हस्य दुरो अद्रेर् और्णोः ॥
tāvad uṣo rādho asmabhyaṃ rāsva yāvat stotṛbhyo arado gṛṇānā | yāṃ tvā jajñur vṛṣabhasyā raveṇa vi dṛḷhasya duro adrer aurṇoḥ ||
Bestow on us, O Dawn, that ample bounty which thou didst send to those who sang thy praises; Thou whom with bellowings of a bull they quickened: thou didst unbar the firm-set mountain's portals.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
देवं-देवं राधसे चोदयन्त्य् अस्मद्र्यक् सूनृता ईरयन्ती । व्युच्छन्ती नः सनये धियो धा यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
devaṃ-devaṃ rādhase codayanty asmadryak sūnṛtā īrayantī | vyucchantī naḥ sanaye dhiyo dhā yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
Impelling every God to grant his bounty sending to us the charm of pleasant voices, Vouchsafe us thoughts, for profit, as thou breakest. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
