Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.80

प्रति स्तोमेभिर् उषसं वसिष्ठा गीर्भिर् विप्रासः प्रथमा अबुध्रन् । विवर्तयन्तीं रजसी समन्ते आविष्कृण्वतीम् भुवनानि विश्वा ॥

prati stomebhir uṣasaṃ vasiṣṭhā gīrbhir viprāsaḥ prathamā abudhran | vivartayantīṃ rajasī samante āviṣkṛṇvatīm bhuvanāni viśvā ||

The priests, Vasisthas, are the first awakened to welcome Usas with their songs and praises, Who makes surrounding regions part asunder, and shows apparent all existing creatures.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

एषा स्या नव्यम् आयुर् दधाना गूढ्वी तमो ज्योतिषोषा अबोधि । अग्र एति युवतिर् अह्रयाणा प्राचिकितत् सूर्यं यज्ञम् अग्निम् ॥

eṣā syā navyam āyur dadhānā gūḍhvī tamo jyotiṣoṣā abodhi | agra eti yuvatir ahrayāṇā prācikitat sūryaṃ yajñam agnim ||

Giving fresh life when she hath hid the darkness, this Dawn hath wakened there with new-born lustre. Youthful and unrestrained she cometh forward: she hath turned thoughts to Sun and fire and worship.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अश्वावतीर् गोमतीर् न उषासो वीरवतीः सदम् उच्छन्तु भद्राः । घृतं दुहाना विश्वतः प्रपीता यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

aśvāvatīr gomatīr na uṣāso vīravatīḥ sadam ucchantu bhadrāḥ | ghṛtaṃ duhānā viśvataḥ prapītā yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

May blessed Mornings shine on us for ever, with wealth of kine, of horses, and of heroes, Streaming with all abundance, pouring fatness. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
