1. MAY Surya guard us out of heaven, and Vata from the firmament,
And Agni from terrestrial spots.
2. Thou Savitar whose flame deserves hundred libations, be thou pleased:
From failing lightning keep us safe.
3. May Savitar the God, and may Parvata also give us sight;
May the Creator give us sight.
4. Give sight unto our eye, give thou our bodies sight that they may see:
May we survey, discern this world.
5. Thus, Surya, may we look on thee, on thee most lovely to behold,
See clearly with the eyes of men.
