Sukta 2
वि॒प॒श्चितं॑ त॒रणिं॒ भ्राज॑मानं॒ वह॑न्ति॒ यं ह॒रितः॑ स॒प्त ब॒ह्वीः । स्रु॒ताद् यमत्त्रि॒र्दिव॑मुन्नि॒नाय॒ तं त्वा॑ पश्यन्ति परि॒यान्त॑मा॒जिम्
vipáścitaṁ taraṇíṁ bhrā́jamānaṁ váhanti yáṁ harítaḥ saptá bahvī́ḥ | srutā́d yám atrír dívam unninā́ya táṁ tvā paśyanti pariyā́ntam ājím ||
The wise, the deliverer, the shining one—him the tawny steeds, seven and many, bear along. Him whom Atri from the stream raised up unto heaven, thee do men behold as thou goest circling on thy course.
那位具明见者、渡越者、辉耀者——褐色的骏马，七匹而又众多，载他奔驰。那位阿特里（Atri）自水流中三次举起、送上天界者；当你沿着你的轨道环行之时，人们看见你，奔赴于竞行之路。

Devata: Sūrya/Āditya (with Atri-myth as supporting narrative).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (mixed).
Primary: adbhuta
