Plain text of Rig Veda - Book The Ninth · HYMN V. Apris
1 Enkindled, the Purifier, Lord, sends forth His light on every side
In friendly show, the bellowing Bull.
2 He, the Purifier, Self-sufficient, speeds onward sharpening His horns:
He glitters through the firmament.
3 Brilliant like wealth, adorable, with splendour the Purifier shines,
Mightily with the streams of meath.
4 The tawny Purifier, who strews from of old the grass with might,
Is worshipped, the One God.
5 The golden, the Celestial Doors are lifted with their frames on high,
By the Purifier glorified.
6 The great lofty pair, well-formed like beauteous maidens, Night and Dawn, are His signs.
9 I summon the Fashioner, our protector, champion.
The Mighty One, the Purifier, and the Creator are names of the One God.
