Again the twofold order was arranged; the thoughtful one set the middle in place, the steadfast maker did not fail. With eager purpose Savitā the god came, establishing the ordinance by half the roaring course.

She, (Night), enwraps the extended (world) like (a woman) weaving (a garment); the prudent man lays aside the work he is able (to execute) in the midst (of his labour); but all spring up (from repose) when the divine, unwearied Sun, who has divided the seasons, again appears.

What was spread out she weaves afresh, re-weaving: the skilful leaves his labour half-completed. He hath arisen from rest, and parted seasons: Savitar hath approached, God, holy-minded.
