1.113.1
इ॒दं श्रेष्ठं॒ ज्योति॑षां॒ ज्योति॒रागा॑च्चि॒त्रः प्र॑के॒तो अ॑जनिष्ट॒ विभ्वा॑ ।
यथा॒ प्रसू॑ता सवि॒तुः स॒वायँ॑ ए॒वा रात्र्यु॒षसे॒ योनि॑मारैक् ॥
This best of lights has come; the variegated banner, far-reaching, has appeared. Just as, impelled by Savitar, night prepares the place for Uṣas (Dawn), so it is.
1.113.2
रुश॑द्वत्सा॒ रुश॑ती श्वे॒त्यागा॒दारै॑गु कृ॒ष्णा सद॑नान्यस्याः ।
स॒मा॒नब॑न्धू अ॒मृते॑ अनू॒ची द्यावा॒ वर्णं॑ चरत आमिना॒ने ॥
The white Uṣas, shining, with reddish calves, has come, and she has also prepared the dark dwellings. Heaven and earth, bound together, immortal, following one another, move about taking on colour, as if shaping a form.
1.113.3
स॒मा॒नो अध्वा॒ स्वस्रो॑रन॒न्तस्तम॒न्यान्या॑ चरतो दे॒वशि॑ष्टे ।
न मे॑थेते॒ न त॑स्थतुः सु॒मेके॒ नक्तो॒षासा॒ सम॑नसा॒ विरू॑पे ॥
The two sisters have one and the same endless path, along which they go one after the other. Shining with divine splendour, the two neither stumble nor stand still. They are Night and Dawn, of fair dwelling, of one mind, of different forms.
1.113.4
भास्व॑ती ने॒त्री सू॒नृता॑नां॒ अचे॑ति चि॒त्रा वि दुरो॑ न आवः ।
प्रार्प्या॒ जग॒द्व्यु॑ नो रा॒यो अ॑ख्यदु॒षा अ॑जीग॒र्भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वा॑ ॥
Radiant, the guide of the truthful ones, Uṣas appears; wondrously she opens the doors as if opening gates. Waking the moving world, she reveals wealth for us; Uṣas has awakened all beings.
1.113.5
जि॒ह्म॒श्ये॑ चरि॑तवे म॒घोनी॑ आभो॒गय॑ इ॒ष्टये॑ रा॒य उ॑ त्वम् ।
द॒भ्रं पश्य॑द्भ्य उर्वि॒या वि॒चक्ष॑ उ॒षा अ॑जीग॒र्भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वा॑ ॥
For those who walk crooked paths, for moving, for enjoyment, for sacrifice, for wealth, you indeed are the bountiful one. For those who see, you spread wide the dim light; Uṣas has awakened all beings.
1.113.6
क्ष॒त्राय॑ त्वं॒ श्रव॑से त्वं मही॒यै इ॒ष्टये॑ त्व॒मर्थ॑मिव त्वमि॒त्यै ।
विस॑दृशा जीवि॒ताभि॑प्र॒चक्ष॑ उ॒षा अ॑जीग॒र्भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वा॑ ॥
For strength you, for fame you, for greatness you, for sacrifice you; you are as the aim, you are as the going. Differing lives you appear to see; Uṣas has awakened all beings.
1.113.7
ए॒षा दि॒वो दु॑हि॒ता प्रत्य॑दर्शि व्यु॒च्छन्ती॑ युव॒तिः शु॒क्रवा॑साः ।
विश्व॒स्येशा॑ना॒ पार्थि॑वस्य॒ वस्व॒ उषो॑ अ॒द्येह सु॑भगे॒ व्यु॑च्छ ॥
Behold, the daughter of the sky, Uṣas has appeared, a young maiden spreading light, bright-clad. Ruler of all the earthly wealth, O Uṣas, O fortunate one, now shine forth here.
1.113.8
प॒रा॒य॒ती॒नामन्वे॑ति॒ पाथ॑ आयती॒नां प्र॑थ॒मा शश्व॑तीनाम् ।
व्यु॒च्छन्ती॑ जी॒वमु॑दी॒रय॑न्ति उ॒षा मृ॒तं कं च॒न बो॒धय॑न्ती ॥
She travels the path of all who depart; of all who come she is first, of the everlasting. Uṣas, shining forth, rouses up life, and awakens even some dead one.
1.113.9
उषो॒ यद॒ग्निं स॒मिधे॑ च॒कर्थ॒ वि यदाव॒श्चक्ष॑सा॒ सूर्य॑स्य ।
यन्मानु॑षान्य॒क्ष्यमा॑णाँ॒ अजी॑ग॒स्तद्दे॒वेषु॑ चकृषे भ॒द्रमप्नः॑ ॥
O Uṣas, when you roused Agni to kindle him, and when you shone by the sight of the sun, when you stirred men about to sacrifice, then you made blessing among the gods.
1.113.10
किया॒त्या यत्स॒मया॒ भवा॑ति॒ या व्यू॒षुर्याश्च॑ नू॒नं व्यु॒च्छान् ।
अनु॒ पूर्वाः॑ कृपते वावशा॒ना प्र॒दीध्या॑ना॒ जोष॑म॒न्याभि॑रेति ॥
As many dawns as come in time, those that have shone and those that shall shine, after them she comes; for the former ones she trembles, shining, kindling delight, she goes with the others.
1.113.11
ई॒युष्टे ये पूर्व॑तरा॒मप॑श्यन्व्यु॒च्छन्ती॑मु॒षसं॒ मर्त्या॑सः ।
अ॒स्माभि॑रू॒ नु प्र॑ति॒चक्ष्या॑भू॒दो ते य॑न्ति॒ ये अ॑प॒रीषु॒ पश्या॑न् ॥
Those mortals who have gone before, who earlier saw Uṣas shining forth, have departed. Now she has appeared to us as well; those who shall see her in the later ones also go that way.
1.113.12
या॒व॒यद्द्वे॑षा ऋत॒पा ऋ॑ते॒जाः सु॑म्ना॒वरी॑ सू॒नृता॑ ई॒रय॑न्ती ।
सु॒म॒ङ्ग॒लीर्बिभ्र॑ती दे॒ववी॑तिमि॒हाद्योषः॒ श्रेष्ठ॑तमा॒ व्यु॑च्छ ॥
Keeping off hatred, keeper of right order, brilliant with right, rich in wealth, giving good offspring, impelling, auspicious, bearing the favor of the gods — O Uṣas, most excellent, shine forth here today.
1.113.13
शश्व॑त्पु॒रोषा व्यु॑वास दे॒वी अथो॑ अ॒द्येदं व्या॑वो म॒घोनी॑ ।
अथो॒ व्यु॑च्छा॒दुत्त॑राँ॒ अनु॒ द्यून॒जरा॒मृता॑ चरति स्व॒धाभिः॑ ॥
Eternally the goddess Uṣas has shone forth, and today the bountiful one has opened this darkness. May she then shine out behind the coming days; the ageless, undying goddess moves on by her own powers.
1.113.14
व्य॑ञ्जिभि॑र्दि॒व आता॑स्वद्यौ॒दप॑ कृ॒ष्णां नि॒र्णिजं॑ दे॒व्या॑वः ।
प्र॒बो॒धय॑न्त्यरु॒णेभि॒रश्वै॒रोषा या॑ति सु॒युजा॒ रथे॑न ॥
With the rays of heaven she has shone out widely in the expanses; the goddess has pushed away the black darkness and uncovered it. Awakening all, with ruddy horses and a well-yoked chariot, Uṣas comes.
1.113.15
आ॒वह॑न्ती॒ पोष्या॒ वार्या॑णि चि॒त्रं के॒तुं कृ॑णुते॒ चेकि॑ताना ।
ई॒युषी॑णामुप॒मा शश्व॑तीनां विभाती॒नां प्र॑थ॒मोषा व्य॑श्वैत् ॥
Bringing nourishing treasures and precious goods, she shows her bright banner, awakening. Among the many dawns that came before and endure forever, the first Uṣas has shone forth.
1.113.16
उदी॑र्ध्वं जी॒वो असु॑र्न॒ आगा॒दप॒ प्रागा॒त्तम॒ आ ज्योति॑रेति ।
आरै॒क्पन्थां॒ यात॑वे॒ सूर्या॒याग॑न्म॒ यत्र॑ प्रति॒रन्त॒ आयुः॑ ॥
Like breath of life, Uṣas has risen up; darkness has gone away, and light comes forth. She prepared the path for the Sun to travel; we have come to where people cross over their lifetime.
1.113.17
स्यूम॑ना वा॒च उदि॑यर्ति॒ वह्निः॒ स्तवा॑नो रे॒भ उ॒षसो॑ विभा॒तीः ।
अ॒द्या तदु॑च्छ गृण॒ते म॑घोनि अ॒स्मे आयु॒र्नि दि॑दीहि प्र॒जाव॑त् ॥
With fine speech the bearer Agni raises up the praiser; he, the roarer, praises the shining dawns. Today, O bountiful one, shine upon the singer; kindle for us life with offspring.
1.113.18
या गोम॑तीरु॒षसः॒ सर्व॑वीरा व्यु॒च्छन्ति॑ दा॒शुषे॒ मर्त्या॑य ।
वा॒योरि॑व सू॒नृता॑नामुद॒र्के ता अ॑श्व॒दा अ॑श्नवत्सोम॒सुत्वा॑ ॥
The dawns, rich in cows and with all their heroes, shine forth for the generous mortal, as in the joy of Vāyu's good offspring. May the one who presses soma attain those dawns rich in horses.
1.113.19
मा॒ता दे॒वाना॒मदि॑ते॒रनी॑कं य॒ज्ञस्य॑ के॒तुर्बृ॑ह॒ती वि भा॑हि ।
प्र॒श॒स्ति॒कृद्ब्रह्म॑णे नो॒ व्यु॑च्छा नो॒ जने॑ जनय विश्ववारे ॥
O mother of the gods, radiant form of Aditi, banner of the sacrifice, shine forth vast. Bestower of praise, open up the dawn for us for the sacred utterance; O you rich in all treasures, bring forth well-being among our people.
1.113.20
यच्चि॒त्रमप्न॑ उ॒षसो॒ वह॑न्तीजा॒नाय॑ शशमा॒नाय॑ भ॒द्रम् ।
तन्नो॑ मि॒त्रो वरु॑णो मामहन्ता॒मदि॑तिः॒ सिन्धुः॑ पृथि॒वी उ॒त द्यौः ॥
Whatever wondrous wealth the dawns bring to the one who sacrifices and to the praiser, that good let Mitra and Varuna grant us; let Aditi, the river Sindhu, the earth and heaven grant it likewise.
