vy u1̱̍ṣā ā̍vaḥ pa̱thyā̱3̱̍ janā̍nā̱m pañca̍ kṣi̱tīr mānu̍ṣīr bo̱dhaya̍ntī |
su̱sa̱ṁdṛgbhi̍r u̱kṣabhi̍r bhā̱num a̍śre̱d vi sūryo̱ roda̍sī̱ cakṣa̍sāvaḥ ||

ROUSING the lands where men's Five Tribes are settled, Dawn hath disclosed the pathways of the people. She hath sent out her sheen with beauteous oxen. The Sun with light hath opened earth and heaven.

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

7.79.2

vy a̍ñjate di̱vo ante̍ṣv a̱ktūn viśo̱ na yu̱ktā u̱ṣaso̍ yatante |
saṁ te̱ gāva̱s tama̱ ā va̍rtayanti̱ jyoti̍r yacchanti savi̱teva̍ bā̱hū ||

They paint their bright rays on the sky's far limits. the Dawns come on like tribes arrayed for battle. Thy cattle, closely shutting up the darkness, as Savitar spreads his arms, give forth their lustre.

7.79.3

abhū̍d u̱ṣā indra̍tamā ma̱ghony ajī̍janat suvi̱tāya̱ śravā̍ṁsi |

Wealthy, most like to Indra, Dawn hath risen, and brought forth lauds that shall promote our welfare. Daughter of Heaven, a Goddess, she distributes, best of Angirases, treasures to the pious.

Bestow on us, O Dawn, that ample bounty which thou didst send to those who sang thy praises; Thou whom with bellowings of a bull they quickened: thou didst unbar the firm-set mountain's portals.

Impelling every God to grant his bounty sending to us the charm of pleasant voices, Vouchsafe us thoughts, for profit, as thou breakest. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
