vi tadyayuraruṇayugbhiraśvaiścitraṃ bhāntyuṣasaścandrarathāḥ agraṃ yajñasya bṛhato nayantīrvi tā bādhante tama ūrmyāyāḥ
They said: with reddish-hued yokes, with splendid steeds and wondrous chariots the shining chariot-riders brighten. Leading the foremost of the great sacrifice, the waves bind them.
The DWns in beautiful chariots drawn by purple steeds in pairs, shine gloriously as hey proceed (along the heaven); bringing on the commencement of the great (morning) sacrifice, they disperse the darkness of the night.
All this with red-rayed steeds have they divided: the Dawns on bright cars shine in wondrous fashion. They, bringing near the stately rite's commencement, drive far away the night's surrounding shadows.
