The bright, twofold streams came forth like goats, bearing the gleaming radiance; and the gods, allied with chariot-horses, led forth the universal rites with Svadhya (the sacred oblation).

The near-advancing (rays), dispersing (the darkness) by the (light of day), are overspreading the firmament with lustre like the sun; the sun, harnessing his horses, (proceeds on his way); do you make known all his paths by (following) after (him) with sacrificial food.

The rays advancing nigh, chasing with day the gloom, spread through the firmament bright radiance like the Sun; And the Sun harnessing his horses goeth forth: ye through your Godlike nature let his paths be known.
