3.17.7

ādit pratnasya retasaḥ \
ud vayaṃ tamasas pari \
jyotiḥ paśyanta uttaram \
svaḥ paśyanta uttaram \
devaṃ devatrā sūryam aganma jyotir uttamam iti jyotir uttamam iti \\317.7\

7. Proceeding from primeval seed,
[The early morning light they see,
That gleameth higher than the heaven].
From out of darkness all around,
We, gazing on the higher light—
Yea, gazing on the higher light—
To Sūrya, god among the gods,
We have attained—the highest light!
—yea, the highest light!
