The face (nature) of Satya (Brahman) is hidden (as it were) with a golden vessel. O Pushan (nourisher of the world—the sun), remove it, so that I, whose reality is Satya, may see (the face). O Pushan, O solitary Rishi (seer or traveller), O Yama (controller), O Surya (sun), O son of Prajâpati (God or Hiranyagarbha), take away thy rays, curb thy brightness. I wish to behold that most benignant form of thine. I myself am that person; and I am immortal. (When my body falls) may my vital force return to the air (cosmic force), and this body too, reduced to ashes, (go to the earth)! O Fire, who art the syllable 'Om,' O Deity of deliberations, recollect, recollect all that I have done, O Deity of deliberations, recollect, recollect all that I have done. O Fire, lead us along the good way towards our riches (deserts). O Lord, thou knowest everybody's mental states; remove the wily evil from us. We utter repeated salutations to thee.
