Hiranyapani Savita, moving in the bright expanse between sky and earth, binds the suns; he binds them like horses and draws them—by black dust he overtakes and pierces the sky.
The gold-handed, all-beholding, Savitā travels between the two regions of heaven and earth, dispels diseases, approaches the sun, and overspreads the sky with gloom, alternating radiance.
The golden-handed Savitar, far-seeing, goes on his way between the earth and heaven, Drives away sickness, bids the Sun approach us, and spreads the bright sky through the darksome region.
