Transliteration

práti sīm agnír jarate sam-iddháḥ práti viprā́so matíbhir gṛṇántaḥ | uṣā́ yāti jyótiṣā bā́dhamānā víśvā támāṃsi duritā́pa devī ||

Translation

В ответ разгорается и оживает возжжённый Агни; в ответ провидцы воспевают вдохновенными мыслями. Уша идёт вперёд со своим светом, оттесняя все тьмы и сжигая кривизну внутренней трудности — она, Богиня.
