Toward one side he goeth; round the other he is hurled abroad; the mighty Bull, disposing himself by day and night. The Sun, abiding in the airy realm, the Knower of paths, we needy suppliants call upon.
К одной стороне он идёт; вокруг другой — разбрасывается; могучий Бык, устраивая себя днём и ночью. Солнце, пребывающее в воздушной области, Знающего пути, мы — нуждающиеся молящие — призываем.
