7.78.2

प्रति॑ के॒तव॑: प्रथ॒मा अ॑दृश्रन्नू॒र्ध्वा अ॑स्या अ॒ञ्जयो॒ वि श्र॑यन्ते | उषो॑ अ॒र्वाचा॑ बृह॒ता रथे॑न॒ ज्योति॑ष्मता वा॒मम॒स्मभ्यं॑ वक्षि ॥१ प्रति॑ षीम॒ग्निर्ज॑रते॒ समि॑द्ध॒: प्रति॒ विप्रा॑सो म॒तिभि॑र्गृ॒णन्त॑: | उ॒षा या॑ति॒ ज्योति॑षा॒ बाध॑माना॒ विश्वा॒ तमां॑सि दुरि॒ताप॑ दे॒वी ||

WE have beheld her earliest lights approaching: her many glories part, on high, asunder. On car sublime, refulgent, wending hither, O Uṣas, bring the Wealth that makes us happy.

7.78.3

ए॒ता उ॒ त्याः प्रत्य॑दृश्रन्पु॒रस्ता॒ज्ज्योति॒र्यच्छ॑न्तीरु॒षसो॑ विभा॒तीः | अजी॑जन॒न्त्सूर्यं॑ य॒ज्ञम॒ग्निम॑पा॒चीनं॒ तमो॑ अगा॒दजु॑ष्टम् ||

The fire well-kindIed sings aloud to greet her, and with their hymns the priests are chaming welcome. Uṣas approaches in her splendour, driving all evil darkness far away, the Goddess.

7.78.4

अचे॑ति दि॒वो दु॑हि॒ता म॒घोनी॒ विश्वे॑ पश्यन्त्यु॒षसं॑ विभा॒तीम् | आस्था॒द्रथं॑ स्व॒धया॑ यु॒ज्यमा॑न॒मा यमश्वा॑सः सु॒युजो॒ वह॑न्ति ||

Apparent eastward are those lights of Morning, sending out lustre, as they rise, around them. She hath brought forth Sun, sacrifice, and Agni, and far away hath fled detested darkness.

7.78.5

प्रति॑ त्वा॒द्य सु॒मन॑सो बुधन्ता॒ऽस्माका॑सो म॒घवा॑नो व॒यं च॑ | ति॒ल्वि॒ला॒यध्व॑मुषसो विभा॒तीर्यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभि॒: सदा॑ नः ||

Rich Daughter of the Sky, we all behold her, yea, all men look on Dawn as she is breaking. fler car that moves self-harnessed hath she mounted, the car drawn onward by her well-yoked horses.
