Do homage unto Varuṇa's and Mitra's Eye: offer this solemn worship to the Mighty God, Who seeth far away, the Ensign, born of Gods. Sing praises unto Sûrya, to the Son of Dyaus.
10.37.2

viśva̍m a̱nyan ni vi̍śate̱ yad eja̍ti vi̱śvāhāpo̍ vi̱śvāhod e̍ti̱ sūrya̍ḥ ||
May this my truthful speech guard me on every side wherever heaven and earth and days are spread abroad. All else that is in motion finds a place of rest: the waters ever flow and ever mounts the Sun.
10.37.3

prā̱cīna̍m a̱nyad anu̍ vartate̱ raja̱ ud a̱nyena̱ jyoti̍ṣā yāsi sūrya ||
No godless man from time remotest draws thee down when thou art driving forth with winged dappled Steeds. One lustre waits upon thee moving to the cast, and, Sûrya, thou arisest with a different light.
10.37.4
yena̍ sūrya̱ jyoti̍ṣā̱ bādha̍se̱ tamo̱ jaga̍c ca̱ viśva̍m udi̱yarṣi̍ bhā̱nunā̍ |

O Sûrya, with the light whereby thou scatterest gloom, and with thy ray impellest every moving thing, Keep far from us all feeble, worthless sacrifice, and drive away disease and every evil dream.

Sent forth thou guardest well the Universe's law, and in thy wonted way arisest free from wrath. When Sûrya, we address our prayers to thee to-day, may the Gods favour this our purpose and desire.
10.37.6
taṁ no̱ dyāvā̍pṛthi̱vī tan na̱ āpa̱ indra̍ḥ śṛṇvantu ma̱ruto̱ hava̱ṁ vaca̍ḥ |

This invocation, these our words may Heaven and Earth, and Indra and the Waters and the Maruts hear. Ne'er may we suffer want in presence of the Sun, and, living happy lives, may we attain old age.

Cheerful in spirit, evermore, and keen of sight, with store of children, free from sickness and from sin, Long-living, may we look, O Sûrya, upon thee uprising day by day, thou great as Mitra is!

Sûrya, may we live long and look upon thee still, thee, O Far-seeing One, bringing the glorious light, The radiant God, the spring of joy to every eye, as thou art mounting up o'er the high shining flood.
10.37.9
yasya̍ te̱ viśvā̱ bhuva̍nāni ke̱tunā̱ pra cera̍te̱ ni ca̍ vi̱śante̍ a̱ktubhi̍ḥ |

Thou by whose lustre all the world of life comes forth, and by thy beams again returns unto its rest, O Sûrya with the golden hair, ascend for us day after day, still bringing purer innocence.
10.37.10
śaṁ no̍ bhava̱ cakṣa̍sā̱ śaṁ no̱ ahnā̱ śam bhā̱nunā̱ śaṁ hi̱mā śaṁ ghṛ̱ṇena̍ |
yathā̱ śam adhva̱ñ cham asa̍d duro̱ṇe tat sū̍rya̱ dravi̍ṇaṁ dhehi ci̱tram ||
Bless us with shine, bless us with perfect daylight, bless us with cold, with fervent heat and lustre. Bestow on us, O Sûrya, varied riches, to bless us in our home and when we travel.

Gods, to our living creatures of both kinds vouchsafe protection, both to bipeds and to quadrupeds, That they may drink and eat invigorating food. So grant us health and strength and perfect innocence.

If by some grievous sin we have provoked the Gods, O Deities, with the tongue or thoughtlessness of heart, That guilt, O Vasus, lay upon the Evil One, on him who ever leads us into deep distress.
