Translation:
Rig Veda 1 THE priests, Vasisthas, are the first awakened to welcome Uṣas with their songs and praises, Who makes surrounding regions part asunder,and shows apparent all existing creatures. 2 Giving fresh life when she hath hid the darkness, this Dawn hath wakened there with new-born lustre. Youthful and unrestrained she cometh forward: she hath turned thoughts to Sun and fire and worship. 3 May blessed Mornings shine on us for ever, with wealth of kine, of horses, and of heroes, Streaming with all abundance, pouring fatness. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
