ऊर्ध्वं केतुं सविता देवो अश्रेज्ज्योतिर्विश्वस्मै भुवनाय कृण्वन् । आप्रा द्यावापृथिवी अन्तरिक्षं वि सूर्यो रश्मिभिश्चेकितानः ॥

ūrdhvám ketúṃ savitā́ dēvó aśret jyótir víśvasmai bhúvanāya kṛṇván | āprā́ dyāvā-pṛthivī́ antárikṣaṃ ví sū́ryo raśmíbhiś cékītānaḥ ||

Savitṛ, the god, has raised aloft the sign; making the light for all the worlds. He has filled heaven and earth and the mid-region; and Sūrya, fully aware, spreads out with his rays.
