vásūni jāté jánamāna ójasā práti bhāgáṃ ná dīdhima ||1||
Turning, as 'twere, to meet the Sun, enjoy from Indra all good things. When he who will be born is born with power we look to treasures as our heritage.

só asya kā́maṃ vidható ná roṣati máno dānā́ya codáyan ||2||
Praise him who sends us wealth, whose bounties injure none. Good are the gifts which Indra gives. He is not wroth with one who satisfies his wish: he turns his mind to granting boons.

Yea, Sūrya, thou art great in fame: thou evermore, O God, art great. By greatness thou art President of Gods, divine, far-spread, inviolable light.
