Griffith, [1896]\n1. SHEDDING her light on human habitations this Child of Heaven hath called us from our slumber;\n She who at night-time with her argent lustre hath shown herself e\u2019en through the shades of darkness.\n 2 All this with red-rayed steeds have they divided: the Dawns on bright cars shine in wondrous fashion.\n They, bringing near the stately rite's commencement, drive far away the night's surrounding shadows.\n 3 Dawns, bringing hither, to the man who worships, glory and power and might and food and vigour,\n Opulent, with imperial sway like heroes, favour your servant and this day enrich him.\n 4 Now is there treasure for the man who serves you, now for the hero, Dawns! who brings oblation;\n Now for the singer when he sings the praise-song. Even to one like me ye brought aforetime.\n 5 O Dawn who standest on the mountain ridges, A\u1e45girases now praise thy stalls of cattle.\n With prayer and holy hymn they burst them open: the heroes' calling on the Gods was fruitful.\n 6 Shine on us as of old, thou Child of Heaven,on him, rich Maid! who serves like Bharadv\u0101ja.\n Give to the singer wealth with noble heroes, and upon us bestow wide-spreading glory.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 6: HYMN LXV.
