Sanskrit Original
दिशः॒ सूर्यो॒ न मि॑नाति॒ प्रदि॑ष्टा दि॒वेदि॑वे॒ हर्य॑श्वप्रसूताः । सं यदान॒ळध्व॑न॒ आदिदश्वै॑र्वि॒मोच॑नं कृणुते॒ तत्त्व॑स्य
diśaḥ sūryo na mināti pradiṣṭā divedive haryaśvaprasūtāḥ saṃ yadānaḷadhvana ādidaśvairvimocanaṃ kṛṇute tattvasya
The directions and the sun do not fail; ordained by the heaven and the days, born of the swift steeds. When the roaring conflagration with ten steeds releases, it accomplishes the true order of that being.
Sūrya harms not the quarters (of the horizon), set open daily (for his journey), the progeny of Haryaśva; when he has traversed the roads (he is to travel), then he lets loose his horses, for such is his office.
Surya transgresses not the ordered limits set daily by the Lord of Tawny Coursers. When to the goal he comes, his journey ended, his Steeds he looses: this is Indra's doing.
