यद॒द्य भा॒गं वि॒भजा॑सि॒ नृभ्य॒ उषो॑ देवि मर्त्य॒त्रा सु॑जाते । दे॒वो नो॒ अत्र॑ सवि॒ता दमू॑ना॒ अना॑गसो वोचति॒ सूर्या॑य
yadadya bhāgaṃ vibhajāsi nṛbhya uṣo devi martyatrā sujāte devo no atra savitā damūnā anāgaso vocati sūryāya
Now you divide a portion for men, O Dawn, born among mortals. The god Savita, with unbent might, speaks to our Sun with his staff.
Well-born and divine Uṣā, who are the protectress of mortals; whatever share (of light) you apportion today to men, may the radiant Savitā bedisposed (to confirm) the gift, and declar us free from sin; so that (he) the sun (may come to our sacrificial hall).
If, Dawn, thou Goddess nobly born, thou dealest fortune this day to all the race of mortals, May Savitar the God, Friend of the homestead, declare before the Sun that we are sinless.
