Mantra 1

Sukta 58

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

श्रायन्त इव सूर्यं विश्वेदिन्द्रस्य भक्षत । वसूनि जाते जनमान ओजसा प्रति भागं न दीधिम

IAST Transliteration

śrā́yanta iva sū́ryaṃ víśved índrasya bhakṣata | vásūni jāté jánamāna ójasā práti bhā́gaṃ ná dīdhima ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

As all lean toward the Sun, so all partake of Indra’s goods. When they are born, arising by might, we set them forth—each toward his portion, as an allotted share.
