Like ruṣhad calves, like a bright chariot, white, black, and the abode of her friends—equal in kinship to immortality, she moves forth; heaven and earth travel with her as companions.
The white-shining dawn, the parent of the sun, has arrived; dark night has sought her own abode; both allied to the same (sun), immortal, succeeding to each other, and mutually effacing each other's complexion, they traverse the heavens.
The Fair, the Bright is come with her white offspring; to her the Dark One hath resigned her dwelling. Akin, immortal, following each other, changing their colours both the heavens move onward.
