आ सूर्यो॑ अरुहच्छु॒क्रमर्णोऽयु॑क्त॒ यद्ध॒रितो॑ वी॒तपृ॑ष्ठाः । उ॒द्ना न नाव॑मनयन्त॒ धीरा॑ आशृण्व॒तीरापो॑ अ॒र्वाग॑तिष्ठन्
ā sūryo aruhacchukramarṇo'yukta yaddharito vītapṛṣṭhāḥ udnā na nāvamanayanta dhīrā āśaṛṇvatīrāpo arvāgatiṣṭhan
May the Sun climb the bright course, joined with the ruddy ones who bear no age; they carried away the strong-bellied ones. Swift rivers brought not back the ships; the waters stood, the streams advanced.
Sūrya has ascended above the glistening water, as soon as he has put to his bright-backed steeds; sage (worshippers) have drawn him, like a ship, across the sea; the waters hearing his commands, have come down.
Surya hath mounted to the shining ocean when he hath yoked his fair-backed Tawny Horses. The wise have drawn him like a ship through water: the floods obedient have descended hither.
