4.13.1

praty a̱gnir u̱ṣasā̱m agra̍m akhyad vibhātī̱nāṁ su̱manā̍ ratna̱dheya̍m |
yā̱tam a̍śvinā su̱kṛto̍ duro̱ṇam ut sūryo̱ jyoti̍ṣā de̱va e̍ti ||

AGNI hath looked, benevolently-minded, on the wealth-giving spring of radiant Mornings. Come, Aṣvins, to the dwelling of the pious: Sûrya the God is rising with his splendour.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

4.13.2

ū̱rdhvam bhā̱nuṁ sa̍vi̱tā de̱vo a̍śred dra̱psaṁ davi̍dhvad gavi̱ṣo na satvā̍ |
anu̍ vra̱taṁ varu̍ṇo yanti mi̱tro yat sūrya̍ṁ di̱vy ā̍ro̱haya̍nti ||

Savitar, God, hath spread on high his lustre, waving his flag like a spoil-seeking hero. Their stablished way go Varuṇa and Mitra, what time they make the Sun ascend the heaven.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

4.13.3

yaṁ sī̱m akṛ̍ṇva̱n tama̍se vi̱pṛce̍ dhru̱vakṣe̍mā̱ ana̍vasyanto̱ artha̍m |
taṁ sūrya̍ṁ ha̱rita̍ḥ sa̱pta ya̱hvīḥ spaśa̱ṁ viśva̍sya̱ jaga̍to vahanti ||

Him whom they made to drive away the darkness, Lords of sure mansions, constant to their object, Him who beholds the universe, the Sun-God, seven strong and youthful Coursers carry onward.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

4.13.4

vahi̍ṣṭhebhir vi̱hara̍n yāsi̱ tantu̍m ava̱vyaya̱nn asi̍taṁ deva̱ vasma̍ |
davi̍dhvato ra̱śmaya̱ḥ sūrya̍sya̱ carme̱vāvā̍dhu̱s tamo̍ a̱psv a1̱̍ntaḥ ||

Spreading thy web with mightiest Steeds thou comest, rending apart, thou God, the black-hued mantle. The rays of Sûrya tremulously shining sink, like a hide, the darkness in the waters.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

4.13.5

anā̍yato̱ ani̍baddhaḥ ka̱thāyaṁ nya̍ṅṅ uttā̱no 'va̍ padyate̱ na |
kayā̍ yāti sva̱dhayā̱ ko da̍darśa di̱vaḥ ska̱mbhaḥ samṛ̍taḥ pāti̱ nāka̍m ||

How is it that, unbound and not supported, he falleth not although directed downward? By what self power moves he? Who liath seen it? He guards the vault of heaven, a close-set pillar.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
