Sukta 2.2
तमुक्षमाणं रजसि स्व आ दमे चन्द्रमिव सुरुचं ह्वार आ दधुः । पृश्न्याः पतरं चितयन्तमक्षभिः पाथो न पायुं जनसी उभे अनु ॥
tám ukṣámāṇaṃ rájasi svá ā́ dame candrám iva su-rúcaṃ hvāré ā́ dadhuḥ | pṛ́śnyāḥ pátaraṃ citáyantam akṣá-bhiḥ pā́tho ná pāyúṃ jánasī ubhé ánu ||
Him, growing in strength in his own mid-region and in his home, they set in the enclosure like the Moon—beautifully shining. He awakens the speckled Mother’s wings with his rays; like a guardian of the path, he follows after both the births, Heaven and Earth, protecting the passage of the journey.
