Transliteration
vy ùṣā́ āvo divi-jā́ ṛténa āviḥ-kṛṇvānā mahimā́nam ā́gāt | ápá drúhas táma ā́var ájuṣṭam aṅgiras-tamā pathyā́ ajīgaḥ ||
Translation
Jutrzenka rozbłysła, zrodzona z nieba, przez Prawdę (ṛta), ujawniając swą wielkość. Odpędziła ciemność oszusta, niepożądaną zasłonę; najbardziej podobna do Angirasów, poruszyła ścieżki w ruch.
