1 The Radiant One is wakened by the people's fuel to meet the dawn who cometh like a milch-cow. Like young trees shooting up on high their branches, His flames are rising to the vault of heaven.

2 For worship of the righteous the Priest was wakened: at morning gracious light hath arisen. Kindled, His radiant might is made apparent, and the great Deity set free from darkness.

3 When He hath stirred the line of His attendants, with the pure milk the pure flame is anointed. The strength-bestowing gift is then made ready, which spread in front, with tongues erect, He receiveth.

4 The spirits of the pious turn together to the Radiant One, as the eyes of all to the sun. He, when both dawns of different hues have borne Him, springs up at daybreak as a strong white charger.

5 The noble One was made manifest at days' beginning, laid red in colour mid the well-laid fuel. Yielding in every house His seven rich treasures, the Radiant One is seated, Priest most skilled in worship.

6 The Radiant One hath sat Him down, a Priest most skilful, on a sweet-smelling place, in the earth's bosom. Young, faithful, sage, pre-eminent o'er many, kindled among the folk whom He sustaineth.

7 This Singer excellent at worship, the Radiant Priest, they glorify with homage. Him who spread out both worlds by Law Eternal they honour with oil, strong Steed who never faileth.

8 He, worshipful House-Friend, in His home is honoured, our own auspicious guest, lauded by sages. That strength the Bull with thousand horns possesses. In might, O God, Thou excellest others.

9 Thou quickly passest by all others, O God, for him to whom Thou hast appeared most lovely, wondrously fair, adorable, effulgent, the guest of men, the darling of the people.

10 To Thee, Most Youthful God! to Thee, O Radiant One, from near and far the people bring their tribute. Mark well the prayer of him who best extols Thee. Great, high, auspicious, O God, is Thy shelter.

11 Ascend to-day Thy splendid car, O God, in splendour, with the Holy Ones around it. Knowing the paths by mid-air's spacious region, bring hither Thine angels to witness our offering.

12 To Him adorable, sage, strong and mighty we have sung forth our song of praise and homage. Gavisthira hath raised with prayer to the Radiant One this laud far-reaching, like gold light to heaven.
