hiraṇmayamiva hiraṇmayaṃ jyotirmayamityetat /
tena pātreṇeva apidhānabhūtena satyasyaivādityamaṇḍalasthasya brāhmaṇo 'pihitam ācchāditaṃ mukhaṃ dvāram /

Hiraṇmaya means golden, appearing as though made of gold, i.e. resplendent; by that; pātreṇa, by the vessel, which is like a lid that hides from view; apihitam, is concealed, covered; mukham, the face, the door, satyasya, of Truth, of that very Brahman who is in the solar orb. Tat tvam pūṣan, that thou, O Sun; apāvṛṇu, do open, i.e. remove. I who have got the quality of Truth, by meditating on you as Truth, am satyadharmā; so satyadharmāya means, for my sake who am of that kind (truthful); or it means, for the sake of one (i.e. me) who performs the rightful duties. Dṛṣṭaye, so as to be seen; so that you yourself, who are the Truth, may be realised.
