Mantra 1
आ देवो यातु सविता सुरत्नोऽन्तरिक्षप्रा वहमानो अश्वैः । हस्ते दधानो नर्या पुरूणि निवेशयञ्च प्रसुवञ्च भूम ॥
Savita devta hamare paas aayein. Woh aswon pe sawar hawa mein aate hain. Unke haath mein insaan ke liye achhi cheezein hoti hain. Woh hamko sahi jagah bitha dein aur hamare kaam sahi disha mein chalein.
Mantra 2
उदस्य बाहू शिथिरा बृहन्ता हिरण्यया दिवो अन्ताँ अनष्टाम् । नूनं सो अस्य महिमा पनिष्ट सूरश्चिदस्मा अनु दादपस्याम् ॥
Bhagwan ke dono haath upar uth gaye hain, bade aur khule hue. Woh haath sone jaise chamak rahe hain aur aasman ke kinare tak ja rahe hain. Ab unki badai saaf dikh rahi hai. Suraj bhi unke peeche chal raha hai aur sahi kaam kar raha hai.
Mantra 3
स घा नो देवः सविता सहावा साविषद्वसुपतिर्वसूनि । विश्रयमाणो अमतिमुरूचीं मर्तभोजनमध रासते नः ॥
Savita devta humari madad karein, woh taakat wala hai. Woh humein dhan aur sampada de, yeh sab ki maalik hai. Woh humare dimaag ko chamka de aur humein wo khana de jo insaan ko zinda rakhta hai.
Mantra 4
इमा गिरः सवितारं सुजिह्वं पूर्णगभस्तिमीळते सुपाणिम् । चित्रं वयो बृहदस्मे दधातु यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
Hum Savita bhagwan ki prarthana karte hain, unki jeebh achhi hai aur haath bhare hue hain. Woh humein dete bhi hain. Bhagwan humare andar nayi taakat daalein, chamakdar aur badi. Aap sab humara khayal rakhein aur humein hamesha achha rakhein.
Savitṛ is the Vedic “Impeller”—a divine power of awakening light that sets beings and actions in motion and grants right direction, prosperity, and well-being.
It asks Savitṛ to bring boons, place the worshipper in a fitting and stable ‘dwelling,’ impel their works in the right way, expand luminous intelligence, and give sustaining nourishment.
It is especially suitable at dawn or before beginning important work, as a prayer for auspicious initiation, clarity of mind, and protective well-being (svasti).
