Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 THE priests of him the lofty Priest well-skilled in hymns harness their spirit, yea, harness their holy thoughts. He only knowing works assigns their priestly tasks. Yea, lofty is the praise of Savitar the God.

víśvā rūpā́ṇi práti muñcate kavíḥ prā́sāvīd bhadráṃ dvipáde cátuṣpade |
ví nā́kam akhyat savitā́ váreṇiyo ánu prayā́ṇam uṣáso ví rājati ||

2 The Sapient One arrays himself in every form: for quadruped and biped he hath brought forth good. Excellent Savitar hath looked on heaven's high vault, and shineth after the outgoing of the Dawn.

yásya prayā́ṇam ánu anyá íd yayúr devā́ devásya mahimā́nam ójasā |
yáḥ pā́rthivāni vimamé sá étaśo rájāṃsi deváḥ savitā́ mahitvanā́ ||

3 Even he, the God whose going-forth and majesty the other Deities have followed with their might, He who hath measured the terrestrial regions out by his great power, he is the Courser Savitar.

utá yāsi savitas trī́ṇi rocanā́ utá sū́ryasya raśmíbhiḥ sám ucyasi |
utá rā́trīm ubhayátaḥ párīyasa utá mitró bhavasi deva dhármabhiḥ ||

4 To the three spheres of light thou goest, Savitar, and with the rays of Sidrya thou combinest thee. Around, on both sides thou encompassest the night: yea, thou, O God, art Mitra through thy righteous laws.

utéśiṣe prasavásya tvám éka íd utá pūṣā́ bhavasi deva yā́mabhiḥ |
utédáṃ víśvam bhúvanaṃ ví rājasi śyāvā́śvas te savita stómam ānaśe ||

5 Over all generation thou art Lord alone: Pūṣan art thou, O God, in all thy goings-forth. Yea, thou hast domination over all this world. Śyāvāśva hath brought praise to thee, O Savitar,
