ऊ॒र्ध्वं भा॒नुं स॑वि॒ता दे॒वो अ॑श्रेद्द्र॒प्सं दवि॑ध्वद्गवि॒षो न सत्वा॑ । अनु॑ व्र॒तं वरु॑णो यन्ति मि॒त्रो यत्सूर्यं॑ दि॒व्या॑रो॒हय॑न्ति
ūrdhvaṃ bhānuṃ savitā devo aśreddrapsaṃ davidhvadgaviṣo na satvā anu vrataṃ varuṇo yanti mitro yatsūryaṃ divyārohayanti
Upward the radiant Savitar mounts; the gods hasten like swift coursers, they follow the ordinance. Varuna and Mitra attend the solemn vow when the divine Sun ascends the heavenly path.
The divine Savitā diffuses his light on high, dispersing the dew, and like a vigorous (bull) ardent for the cow; then Varuṇa, and Mitra, and other (divinities), hasten to (fulfil) their offices when they elevate the sun in the sky.
Savitar, God, hath spread on high his lustre, waving his flag like a spoil-seeking hero. Their stablished way go Varuna and Mitra, what time they make the Sun ascend the heaven.
