उ॒त या॑सि सवित॒स्त्रीणि॑ रोच॒नोत सूर्य॑स्य र॒श्मिभिः॒ समु॑च्यसि । उ॒त रात्री॑मुभ॒यतः॒ परी॑यस उ॒त मि॒त्रो भ॑वसि देव॒ धर्म॑भिः
uta yāsi savitastrīṇi rocanota sūryasya raśmibhiḥ samucyasi uta rātrīmubhayataḥ parīyasa uta mitro bhavasi deva dharmabhiḥ
You, O Savitar, shine as threefold splendor with the rays of the sun; be you, O god, both night and the twofold protector with divine laws.
eithe ryou traverse, Savitā, the three regions, or combine with the rays of Sūrya; or you pass between the night on either hand; or you, divine Savitā are Mitra, through your (benevolent) functions.
To the three spheres of light thou goest, Savitar, and with the rays of Sidrya thou combinest thee. Around, on both sides thou encompassest the night: yea, thou, O God, art Mitra through thy righteous laws.
