1.50.1

उदु॒ त्यं जा॒तवे॑दसं दे॒वं व॑हन्ति के॒तवः॑ ।
दृ॒शे विश्वा॑य॒ सूर्य॑म् ॥

Those rays lift up the sun, the god who knows all beings, so that all may see him.

अप॒ त्ये ता॒यवो॑ यथा॒ नक्ष॑त्रा यन्त्य॒क्तुभिः॑ ।
सूरा॑य वि॒श्वच॑क्षसे ॥

As thieves go away with the nights, those stars depart, for the sun who sees all.

अदृ॑श्रमस्य के॒तवो॒ वि र॒श्मयो॒ जनाँ॒ अनु॑ ।
भ्राज॑न्तो अ॒ग्नयो॑ यथा ॥

I have seen his banners; his rays spread out over the people, like shining fires.

त॒रणि॑र्वि॒श्वद॑र्शतो ज्योति॒ष्कृद॑सि सूर्य ।
विश्व॒मा भा॑सि रोच॒नम् ॥

You are the ferryman, O Sun, all-seeing maker of light; you shine forth over the whole world with your radiance.

प्र॒त्यङ्दे॒वानां॒ विशः॑ प्र॒त्यङ्ङुदे॑षि॒ मानु॑षान् ।
प्र॒त्यङ्विश्वं॒ स्व॑र्दृ॒शे ॥

Facing the hosts of gods and facing the peoples, you rise up; facing all, you rise to behold the bright heaven.

येना॑ पावक॒ चक्ष॑सा भुर॒ण्यन्तं॒ जनाँ॒ अनु॑ ।
त्वं व॑रुण॒ पश्य॑सि ॥

With that eye, O purifier, with which you look upon the active people, with that, O Varuṇa, you watch.

वि द्यामे॑षि॒ रज॑स्पृ॒थु अहा॒ मिमा॑नो अ॒क्तुभिः॑ ।
पश्य॒ञ्जन्मा॑नि सूर्य ॥

O Sūrya, measuring out the days with the nights, you traverse the wide sky and the realm, beholding the births of beings.

स॒प्त त्वा॑ ह॒रितो॒ रथे॒ वह॑न्ति देव सूर्य ।
शो॒चिष्के॑शं विचक्षण ॥

O god Sūrya, seven tawny steeds carry you on the chariot. O flame-haired one, O far-seeing one!

अयु॑क्त स॒प्त शु॒न्ध्युवः॒ सूरो॒ रथ॑स्य न॒प्त्यः॑ ।
ताभि॑र्याति॒ स्वयु॑क्तिभिः ॥

Sūrya yoked the seven bright daughters of the chariot; with those self-yoked steeds he goes.

उद्व॒यं तम॑स॒स्परि॒ ज्योति॒ष्पश्य॑न्त॒ उत्त॑रम् ।
दे॒वं दे॑व॒त्रा सूर्य॒मग॑न्म॒ ज्योति॑रुत्त॒मम् ॥

Beyond darkness, beholding the higher light, we have gone to the god among gods, the Sun; we have reached the highest light.

उ॒द्यन्न॒द्य मि॑त्रमह आ॒रोह॒न्नुत्त॑रां॒ दिव॑म् ।
हृ॒द्रो॒गं मम॑ सूर्य हरि॒माणं॑ च नाशय ॥

O great friend Sūrya, rising today and ascending to the higher heaven, destroy my heart-disease and my yellowness.

शुके॑षु मे हरि॒माणं॑ रोप॒णाका॑सु दध्मसि ।
अथो॑ हारिद्र॒वेषु॑ मे हरि॒माणं॒ नि द॑ध्मसि ॥

We place my yellowness in the green parrots and in the ropaṇā-plants; and then indeed we place my yellowness in things of turmeric colour.

उद॑गाद॒यमा॑दि॒त्यो विश्वे॑न॒ सह॑सा स॒ह ।
द्वि॒षन्तं॒ मह्यं॑ र॒न्धय॒न्मो अ॒हं द्वि॑ष॒ते र॑धम् ॥

This Āditya has risen with all his might, with strength. Subduing the hostile one for me, may I not become a defeat for the enemy.
