Wahai Surya, Cahaya yang baik, pimpinlah kemari para dewa—para Bapa yang perkasa, berketetapan budi yang benar—tanpa cela dalam keluasan-Mu, wahai Yang Maha Luas. Mereka yang dua-kali-lahir, yang meminum Ṛta, yang benar; yang memikul cahaya-svar di dalam; yang layak dipuja, dengan Agni sebagai lidah persembahan—bawalah mereka kepada kami.
