1.123.1
पृ॒थू रथो॒ दक्षि॑णाया अयोजि॒ ऐनं॑ दे॒वासो॑ अ॒मृता॑सो अस्थुः ।
कृ॒ष्णादुद॑स्थाद॒र्या॑ विहा॑या॒श्चिकि॑त्सन्ती॒ मानु॑षाय॒ क्षया॑य ॥
The broad chariot was yoked for the gift; around it the immortal gods took their stand. From the darkness rose the noble, wide-spreading Uṣas, awakening all to dwell for mortals.
1.123.2
पूर्वा॒ विश्व॑स्मा॒द्भुव॑नादबोधि॒ जय॑न्ती॒ वाजं॑ बृह॒ती सनु॑त्री ।
उ॒च्चा व्य॑ख्यद्युव॒तिः पु॑न॒र्भूरोषा अ॑गन्प्रथ॒मा पू॒र्वहू॑तौ ॥
Before all worlds she was awakened, winning the prize of victory, mighty and bountiful. She shone forth on high; the maiden Uṣas, renewed in youth, came first at the first invocation.
1.123.3
यद॒द्य भा॒गं वि॒भजा॑सि॒ नृभ्य॒ उषो॑ देवि मर्त्य॒त्रा सु॑जाते ।
दे॒वो नो॒ अत्र॑ सवि॒ता दमू॑ना॒ अना॑गसो वोचति॒ सूर्या॑य ॥
When today you apportion your share to mortals, O goddess Uṣas, O well-born one, here may the giving god Savitṛ speak to the sun on behalf of us who are sinless.
1.123.4
गृ॒हंगृ॑हमह॒ना या॒त्यच्छा॑ दि॒वेदि॑वे॒ अधि॒ नामा॒ दधा॑ना ।
सिषा॑सन्ती द्योत॒ना शश्व॒दागा॒दग्र॑मग्र॒मिद्भ॑जते॒ वसू॑नाम् ॥
House by house she goes, drawing near day after day, bearing her name, desiring to win brightness; she comes ever shining, and in each and every thing she receives her share of the riches of the Vasus.
1.123.5
भग॑स्य॒ स्वसा॒ वरु॑णस्य जा॒मिरुषः॑ सूनृते प्रथ॒मा ज॑रस्व ।
प॒श्चा स द॑घ्या॒ यो अ॒घस्य॑ धा॒ता जये॑म॒ तं दक्षि॑णया॒ रथे॑न ॥
Sister of Bhaga, kinswoman of Varuṇa, O bearer of offspring Uṣas, awaken first. Afterwards may he perish, the evil-setter; may we conquer him by gift and by the chariot.
1.123.6
उदी॑रतां सू॒नृता॒ उत्पुरं॑धी॒रुद॒ग्नयः॑ शुशुचा॒नासो॑ अस्थुः ।
स्पा॒र्हा वसू॑नि॒ तम॒साप॑गूळ्हा॒विष्कृ॑ण्वन्त्यु॒षसो॑ विभा॒तीः ॥
Let the true-speaking ones rise up, let the hymn-makers rise; the bright fires have risen. The shining dawns reveal the desirable riches that darkness had hidden.
1.123.7
अपा॒न्यदेत्य॒भ्य॑न्यदे॑ति॒ विषु॑रूपे॒ अह॑नी॒ सं च॑रेते ।
प॒रि॒क्षितो॒स्तमो॑ अ॒न्या गुहा॑क॒रद्यौ॑दु॒षाः शोशु॑चता॒ रथे॑न ॥
One goes away, the other comes toward it; the two days of differing forms move together. The other hid the surrounding darkness; Uṣas shone forth with her gleaming chariot.
1.123.8
स॒दृशी॑र॒द्य स॒दृशी॒रिदु॒ श्वो दी॒र्घं स॑चन्ते॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ धाम॑ ।
अ॒न॒व॒द्यास्त्रिं॒शतं॒ योज॑नानि॒ एकै॑का॒ क्रतुं॒ परि॑ यन्ति स॒द्यः ॥
Today they are alike, and tomorrow alike too; they follow the long dwelling-place of Varuṇa. The unblemished ones, one by one, swiftly circle their course over thirty yojanas.
1.123.9
जा॒न॒त्यह्नः॑ प्रथ॒मस्य॒ नाम॑ शु॒क्रा कृ॒ष्णाद॑जनिष्ट श्विती॒ची ।
ऋ॒तस्य॒ योषा॒ न मि॑नाति॒ धामाह॑रहर्निष्कृ॒तमा॒चर॑न्ती ॥
Knowing the name of the first day, she was born bright, white-shining, from the darkness. Like the bride of the cosmic order she does not harm her dwelling, moving day after day on her appointed course.
1.123.10
क॒न्ये॑व त॒न्वा॑ शाश॑दानाँ देवि दे॒वमिय॑क्षमाणम् ।
सं॒स्मय॑माना युव॒तिः पु॒रस्ता॑दा॒विर्वक्षां॑सि कृणुषे विभा॒ती ॥
Shining in your body like a maiden, O goddess, you come desiring the god. Smiling young woman, appearing from before, shining forth, you reveal your breasts.
1.123.11
सु॒सं॒का॒शा मा॒तृमृ॑ष्टेव॒ योषा॒विस्त॒न्वं॑ कृणुषे दृ॒शे कम् ।
भ॒द्रा त्वमु॑षो वित॒रं व्यु॑च्छ॒ न तत्ते॑ अ॒न्या उ॒षसो॑ नशन्त ॥
Most splendid, as if cleansed by a mother, like a woman you openly reveal your body, pleasing to behold. O Uṣas, auspicious one, shine forth far and wide; your other dawns did not destroy that glory of yours.
1.123.12
अश्वा॑वती॒र्गोम॑तीर्वि॒श्ववा॑रा॒ यत॑माना र॒श्मिभिः॒ सूर्य॑स्य ।
परा॑ च॒ यन्ति॒ पुन॒रा च॑ यन्ति भ॒द्रा नाम॒ वह॑माना उ॒षासः॑ ॥
Possessing horses, possessing cattle, bestowing all wealth, the Dawns strive onward with the rays of the Sun. They go away and come back again, the auspicious Dawns bearing their glorious names.
1.123.13
ऋ॒तस्य॑ र॒श्मिम॑नु॒यच्छ॑माना भ॒द्रम्भ॑द्रं॒ क्रतु॑म॒स्मासु॑ धेहि ।
उषो॑ नो अ॒द्य सु॒हवा॒ व्यु॑च्छा॒स्मासु॒ रायो॑ म॒घव॑त्सु च स्युः ॥
Holding the ray of ṛta, O Uṣas, place in us the best and most auspicious resolve. Shine forth for us today, easy to call, and may wealth be ours, as it is among the bountiful.
