Mantra 54
Rishi: Traditionally associated with Vedic seerly transmission; in VS 33 many mantras are RV-derived and not uniformly assigned in the Saṃhitā itself
Devata: Savitṛ (with implicit reference to the Devas as first recipients)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type cadence (RV-style); exact metrical classification depends on RV source identification

Translation
ਦੇਵਿਆਂ ਲਈ—ਯਜ੍ਞਯੋਗ੍ਯ ਦੇਵਿਆਂ ਲਈ—ਤੂੰ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤਤ੍ਵ, ਅਰਥਾਤ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਉੱਤਮ ਭਾਗ, ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ਦਾ ਹੈਂ। ਫਿਰ, ਹੇ ਸਵਿਤਰ, ਤੂੰ ਬੰਧਨ ਨੂੰ ਖੋਲ੍ਹ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈਂ ਅਤੇ ਯਥਾਕ੍ਰਮ ਮਨੁੱਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਵਨ ਪ੍ਰਦਾਨ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈਂ।
