उषो यदग्निं समिधे चकर्थ वि यदावश्चक्षसा सूर्यस्य । यन्मानुषान्यक्ष्यमाणाँ अजीगस्तद्देवेषु चकृषे भद्रमप्नः ॥

O Uṣas, wenn du Agni zum Entzünden gebracht hast, wenn du das Schauen der Sūrya weit geöffnet hast, wenn du die Menschen aufgerüttelt hast, die die Opfergabe bereiten—dann vollbringst du unter den Göttern ein gutes Werk, eine heilsame Erfüllung.
