क्ष॒त्राय॑ त्वं॒ श्रव॑से त्वं मही॒या इ॒ष्टये॑ त्व॒मर्थ॑मिव त्वमि॒त्यै । विस॑दृशा जीवि॒ताभि॑प्र॒चक्ष॑ उ॒षा अ॑जीग॒र्भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वा॑
kṣatrāya tvaṃ śravase tvaṃ mahīyā iṣṭaye tvamarthamiva tvamityai visadṛśā jīvitābhipracakṣa uṣā ajīgarbhuvanāni viśvā
To thee is power, to thee is fame, to thee the earth is dear; thou art desired as wealth. With clear sight declare lives’ welfare—O Dawn, bring forth the worlds that bear all.
The dawn rouses one man to acquire wealth, another to earn food, another to achieve greatness, another to sacrifices, another to his own (pursuits), another to activity, and lights all men to their various means of maintaining life. Uṣās has given back all the regions.
One to high sway, one to exalted glory, one to pursue his gain, and one his labour: All to regard their different vocations, all moving creatures hath the Dawn awakened.
