Sukta 58

Mantra 1

श्रायन्त इव सूर्यं विश्वेदिन्द्रस्य भक्षत । वसूनि जाते जनमान ओजसा प्रति भागं न दीधिम

As all lean toward the Sun, so all partake of Indra’s goods. When they are born, arising by might, we set them forth—each toward his portion, as an allotted share.

Mantra 2

अनर्शरातिं वसुदामुप स्तुहि भद्रा इन्द्रस्य रातयः । सो अस्य कामं विधतो न रोषति मनो दानाय चोदयन्

Praise thou, drawing near, the unfailing giver, the wealth-bestower: auspicious are Indra’s gifts. He is not wroth with him who duly serves; he furthers his desire, urging the mind toward giving.

Mantra 3

बण्महाँ असि सूर्य बडादित्य महाँ असि । महस्ते सतो महिमा पनस्यतेऽद्धा देव महाँ असि

Thou art exceeding great, O Sūrya; O mighty Āditya, thou art great. Thy greatness—of the True One—thy majesty is openly lauded: verily, O God, thou art great.

Mantra 4

बट् सूर्य श्रवसा महाँ असि सत्रा देव महाँ असि । मह्ना देवानामसुर्यः पुरोहितो विभु ज्योतिरदाभ्यम्

Yea, O Sūrya, by glory thou art great; ever, O God, thou art great. By might—lordly among the gods—set foremost as their priest, all-pervading, a light that none may foil.
