As we call upon the approaching dawn with swelling radiance, so may Mitra, Varuna, Indra and the Maruts, as well as the great ones, grant us favor.
May the adored Day and Night, combined or separate, be manifest in bodily form, so that Mitra, Varuṇa, Indra, or (the latter), attended by the Maruts, may rejoice us by their glories.
Night and Dawn, lauded, hither come together, both smiling, different are their forms in colour, That Varuna and Mitra may accept us, and Indra, girt by Maruts, with his glories.
