sácanta yád uṣásaḥ sū́ryeṇa citrā́m asya ketávo rā́m avindan | ā́ yán nákṣatraṃ dadṛ́śe divó ná púnar yató nákir addhā́ nú veda ||

When the Dawns move in union with the Sun, the radiant beams find for him the shining delight. And when the star-sign is seen, it is as if from heaven—yet none knows surely whence it comes again.
