His bright rays bear him up aloft,
The God who knows all that lives
Surya (Sun) that all may look on him,
The constellations of night passed away
Like thieves together with their beams
Before the all-beholding Sun.
His herald rays are seen afar
Refulgent o'er the world of men
Like flames of fire that burn and blaze.
Swift and beautiful art Thou,
O Sun, maker of the glorious light
Illumining the entire radiant realm.
Thou come hither to mankind,
Sun, seeing all things that have birth
Seven Bay Steeds harnessed to Thy car
Bear thee, O Thou farseeing One,
Looking upon the loftier light
Above the darkness we have come
To Sun, the God among the Gods,
The light that is most excellent.
O Sun! Remove the disease of eyes
Remove the disease of heart
Remove all diseases through thy rays
Take from us all diseases from our bodies
To froth of the sea or to the craggy rocks
To distant marshes or to the desert snakes!
With all his conquering vigor
The Sun god hath gone up on high
Giving my foe into my hand and
Not let me be a foe-man's prey!
