acittī yaccakṛmā daivye jane dīnairdakṣaiḥ prabhūtī pūruṣatvatā deveṣu ca savitarmānuṣeṣu ca tvaṃ no atra suvatādanāgasaḥ
By what divine deeds those humble people established greatness and manhood—through skilled rites and potency. Among the gods and among men, O Savita, do you, who are noble, drive us onward with prosperous strength.
If, Savitā, through ignorance, through pride in feeble or powerful (dependants), or through human infirmity, we have committed (offence) against your divine person n, or against gods or men, do you on this occasion hold us to be unoffending.
If we, men as we are, have sinned against the Gods through want of thought, in weakness, or through insolence, Absolve us from the guilt and make us free from sin, O Savitar, alike among both Gods and men.
