Savitar hath stilled the earth with cords of binding; in the place where naught upholdeth, there did he set fast the heaven.

He hath milked the loud mid-realm as a stallion doth his strength, yea, he hath drawn forth the sea, shut within the deep unmeasured.

Where the sea did rise with flood and swell— that doth Savitar know, O Child of the Waters.

Thence came forth the world, thence the breath of the air; thence did heaven and earth stretch forth their limbs.

After this world came the other, worthy of the rite, full of the birthless works of deathless kind.

Surely was the sun-bird, feathered fair, of Savitar begotten before, and his birth was by Savitar's own hand upheld.

As kine come home to stead, as a warrior to his steeds, as the gentle cow loweth for her calf, as a man draweth nigh unto his wife—
so let him descend to us, the bearer of heaven, Savitar, bringer of all goodly things.

As did Hiraṇyastūpa, son of Angiras, call upon thee, when the prize was sought and fate hung in balance— so now I cry unto thee, waking and singing, my face turned toward thee, as one to the soma plant.
