As long as two passions abide, the laws and splendours, the prosperous ones make streams of songs; the auspicious bestowers bear the godly fame—today the foremost Dawn unfolds.

The beings hostile (to acts of devotion) now withdraw, for she is the protectress of sacred rites, who is manifested for their performance; she is the giver of happiness, the awakener of plural asant voices, the enjoyer of felicity, and provider of food for the gods; most excellent Uṣās dawn today on this (sacrificial hall).

Foe-chaser, born of Law, the Law's protectress, joy-giver waker of all pleasant voices, Auspicious, bringing food for Gods' enjoyment, shine on us here, most bright, O Dawn, this morning.
