Sukta 2
स्व॒स्ति ते॑ सूर्य च॒रसे॒ रथा॑य॒ येनो॒भावन्तौ॑ परि॒यासि॑ स॒द्यः । यं ते॒ वह॑न्ति ह॒रितो॒ वहि॑ष्ठाः श॒तमश्वा॒ यदि॑ वा स॒प्त ब॒ह्वीः
svásti te sū́rya cárase ráthāya yéna ubháu ántau pariyā́si sadyáḥ | yáṁ te váhanti haríto váhiṣṭhāḥ śatám-aśvā yádi vā saptá bahvī́ḥ ||
Welfare be to thee, O Sūrya, for thy going, for thy chariot whereby thou straightway encompassest both the ends. That which the tawny, best-bearing ones convey for thee—be it hundred-horsed, or seven, or many.
Surya bhagwan ki yeh dua hai ki tumhara safar achha ho. Tum apne rath mein dono taraf jaldi pahunch jaate ho. Tumhare liye jo ghode hain, woh bade achhe hain. Chahe sau ghode hon, chahe saat, ya aur bhi zyada, woh sab tumhe le jaate hain.
