यू॒यं हि दे॑वीरृत॒युग्भि॒रश्वैः॑ परिप्रया॒थ भुव॑नानि स॒द्यः । प्र॒बो॒धय॑न्तीरुषसः स॒सन्तं॑ द्वि॒पाच्चतु॑ष्पाच्च॒रथा॑य जी॒वम्
yūyaṃ hi devīrṛtayugbhiraśvaiḥ pariprayātha bhuvanāni sadyaḥ prabodhayantīruṣasaḥ sasantaṃ dvipāccatuṣpāccarathāya jīvam
You, O goddesses, urged on by the steeds of the ritual, quickly traversed the worlds; awakening the dawns, the luminous ones, possessing two, four, or many rays, they gave life.
Divine Dawns, with horses that frequent sacrifices you quickly travel round the regions (of space); awake the sleeping being, whether biped or quadruped, to pursue (his functions).
With horses harnessed by eternal Order, Goddesses, swiftly round the worlds ye travel, Arousing from their rest, O Dawns, the sleeping, and all that lives, man, bird, and beast, to motion.
