Him of the quarters, of the wise discerners, resounding with his splendour—well-winged, swift, flying in the flood—Sūrya we laud, the guardian of the world, who with his rays illumineth all the directions.
Dia yang menguasai penjuru-penjuru, yang dipahami para bijak; yang bergema dengan sinar cahayanya—bersayap elok, cepat, terbang di samudra—Sūrya kami puji, penjaga dunia, yang dengan sinar-sinarnya menerangi semua arah.
