Like a cloud comes the man forth; eastward the spring moves, wealth of gifts to the bounteous ones. Born is the husband, the pleasant-smelling dawn like a thousandfold laugh descends with waters.

She goes to the west, as (a woman who has) no brother (repairs) to her male (relatives); and like one ascending the hall (of justice) for the recovery of property, (she mounts in the sky to claim her lustre); and like a wife desirous to plural ase her husband, Uṣā puts on becoming attire, and smiling as it were, displays her charms.

She seeketh men, as she who hath no brother, mounting her car, as 'twere to gather riches. Dawn, like a loving matron for her husband, smiling and well attired, unmasks her beauty.
