Knowledge of heaven shining, the dawn released from the mountain peaks, the radiant light; the fertile mares opened their paths, the mortal women and the gods came forth.
(Indra) recovered (the hidden cattle), hurling his thunderbolt from heaven at the prayers of the Aṅgirasas; the rays of the approaching dawn are spread around; the divine sun, scattering the clustered gloom, has risen and set open the doors of (the habitations of) men.
BARDS of approaching Dawn who know the heavens are come with hymns to throw the mountain open. The Sun hath risen and oped the stable portals: the doors of men, too, hath the God thrown open.
