पशून्न चित्रा सुभगा प्रथाना सिन्धुर्न क्षोद उर्विया व्यश्वैत् । अमिनती दैव्यानि व्रतानि सूर्यस्य चेति रश्मिभिर्दृशाना ॥

paśū́n na citrā́ su-bhágā prathānā́ síndhur na kṣóda urviyā́ ví aśvait | áminatī daivyā́ni vratā́ni sū́ryasya ceti raśmí-bhir dṛśānā́ ||

Como pastora de los rebaños, la Aurora multicolor, afortunada, se ensancha y se extiende; como río en crecida, se precipita por la vastedad. No quebranta los vratas divinos; vista en los rayos del Sol, avanza en consonancia con Rita.
