Dawn, through the strength of wealth, awakened the wealthy; accept the hymn, O giver of bounty. The ancient goddess, a maiden, went before the city and upheld the vow for the world.

Affluent Uṣas, giver of sustenance, possessed of intelligence, be propitiated by the praise of him who lauds you, (and worships) with (sacrificial) food; divine Uṣas, adored by all, who (though) ancient are (still) young, the object of manifold worship, you are present at the recurring (morning) rite.

O Usas, strong with strength, endowed witli knowledge, accept the singer's praise, O wealthy Lady. Thou, Goddess, ancient, young, and full of wisdom, movest, all-bounteous! as the Law ordaineth.
