Griffith, [1896]\n1. THE brilliant presence of the Gods hath risen, the eye of Mitra, Varu\u1e47a and Agni.\n The soul of all that moveth not or moveth, the Sun hath filled the air and earth and heaven.\n 2 Like as a young man followeth a maiden, so doth the Sun the Dawn, refulgent Goddess:\n Where pious men extend their generations, before the Auspicious One for happy fortune.\n 3 Auspicious are the Sun's Bay-coloured Horses, bright, changing hues, meet for our shouts of triumph.\n Bearing our prayers, the sky's ridge have they mounted, and in a moment speed round earth and heaven.\n 4 This is the Godhead, this might of S\u016brya: he hath withdrawn what spread o\u2019er work unfinished.\n When he hath loosed his Horses from their station, straight over all Night spreadeth out her garment.\n 5 In the sky's lap the Sun this form assumeth that Varu\u1e47a and Mitra may behold it.\n His Bay Steeds well maintain his power eternal, at one time bright and darksome at another.\n 6 This day, O Gods, while S\u016brya is ascending, deliver us from trouble and dishonour.\n This prayer of ours may Varu\u1e47a grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN CXV.
