ए॒षा स्या नव्य॒मायु॒र्दधा॑ना गू॒ढ्वी तमो॒ ज्योति॑षो॒षा अ॑बोधि । अग्र॑ एति युव॒तिरह्र॑याणा॒ प्राचि॑कित॒त्सूर्यं॑ य॒ज्ञम॒ग्निम्
eṣā syā navyamāyurdadhānā gūḍhvī tamo jyotiṣoṣā abodhi agra eti yuvatirahrayāṇā prācikitatsūryaṃ yajñamagnim
This renewed life set a hidden splendour; she, the dawn of light, knows not ignorance. The maiden goes before, drawing the sun—sacrifices and Agni.
Bestowing new existence, dispersing the thick darkness by her radiance, the Dawn is awakened andlike an immodest dame, she comes before (the sun), and makes manifest Sūrya, sacrifice and Agni.
Giving fresh life when she hath hid the darkness, this Dawn hath wakened there with new-born lustre. Youthful and unrestrained she cometh forward: she hath turned thoughts to Sun and fire and worship.
