To the banners first come the unseen above; their chariot-robes are vast. Dawn with broad voice or radiant chariot announce to us the light.
The first signs of the Dawn are visible, her rays are spreading not high; you bring us, Uṣas, desirable(riches) in your vast, descending and resplendent chariot.
WE have beheld her earliest lights approaching: her many glories part, on high, asunder. On car sublime, refulgent, wending hither, O Usas, bring the Wealth that makes us happy.
