savitā yantraiḥ pṛthivīmaramṇādaskambhane savitā dyāmadṛṃhat aśvamivādhukṣaddhunimantarikṣamatūrte baddhaṃ savitā samudram
Savita stirred the earth with his devices and shook the heavens; Savita struck down the wide sky. Like a bridled horse he bound the ocean and crossed the firmament; Savita bound the sea.
Savitā has fixed the earth with fetters; Savitā has made the heaven firm in a plural ce where there wasno support; Savitā has milked the cloud of the firmament bound to the indestructible (ether) like a tremblinghorse.
SAVITAR fixed the earth with bands to bind it, and made heaven stedfast where no prop supported. Savitar milked, as 'twere a restless courser, air, sea bound fast to what no foot had trodden.
